    TRIAL OF EDITOR OF AGOS TURKISH-ARMENIAN NEWSPAPER RESUMED


    YEREVAN, APRIL 29. ARMINFO. The trial of the editor of the
    Turkish-Armenian newspaper "Agos" Grant Dink has been resumed today,
    reports AP>

    Dink is accused of insulting the Turkish national anthem especially
    concerning the part mentioning "pride for belonging to heroic race."
    In 2002 in Sanliurfa Dink criticized the Turkey authorities for
    anti-Armenian propaganda in schools. He says that the anthem Turkish
    schoolchildren sing every morning says that it is happiness to be
    Turk. This is discrimination against other ethnic minorities, says
    Dink noting that all non-Turks are instructed to conceal their
    nationality and to say that they are just citizens of Turkey. This is
    an example of Turkey's bad treatment of its ethnic minorities and this
    a bad road towards the EU, notes Dink. Meanwhile Turkey keeps denying
    the Armenian Genocide of 1915 when 1.5 mln of Armenians were
    massacred, reports AP.
