    An indictment was prepared for Agos newspaper Editor-in-Chief Hrant
    Dink and two administrators of the newspaper for `insulting the
    Turkish identity.' The Sisli Public Prosecutor's indictment reads
    that Hrant Dink quoted a statement that he made to a foreign news
    agency on July 21, 2006 an issue of Agos Newspaper.

    The indictment quotes Dink as purportedly saying `I define it as
    genocide because the result itself defines the event and names it. We
    can now see that a nation, which has been living on these lands for
    4,000 years, is on the verge of disappearing following these
    developments.' The indictment asks for up to three years imprisonment
    for Hrant Dink and administrators Arat Dink and Serkis Seropyan
    according to article 301 of the Turkish Penal Code.
