Hrant Dink was held in Krasnodar region of Russia, reported Yerkramas,
the newspaper of Armenians of Russia.
The participants gave reports and exchanged views on status of
religious minorities in Turkey. They also issued an address to leaders
of the EU member states and called to exert pressure on the Turkish
government and demand fair investigation of the crime.
"Only revision of the dark pages of its history, specifically
recognition of the Armenian Genocide, will allow Turkey to find a
place in Europe," the document reads.
"Hrant Dink's murder is the result of the policy of intolerance
pursued by the Turkish authorities," it goes on.
Hrant Dink, 53, was gunned down on January 19, 2007.
He was remarkable for his publications about the Armenian Genocide
and was prosecuted under article 301 of the Turkish Penal Code. His
murder aroused a wave of protest throughout the globe.
