    Beirut, 23/02/2009- On Friday, February 20, 2009, Mrs.Raquel Dink, widow
    of renowned Armenian activist journalist, editor of the Turkish-Armenian

    Union of the Armenian Evangelical Churches in the Near East, as the
    keynote speaker of the joint worship service dedicated to the feast of
    St.Vartan.

    Dink shared with the Haigazian University staff, faculty and students,
    her experiences related to the assassination of Hrant and his tireless
    efforts to promote human rights and freedom of thought and speech for
    all minorities in Turkey. She also briefed about "The Hrant Dink
    Foundation" as a foundation that promotes universal values like,
    consciousness, responsibility, and accountability in writing and
    speaking, and open dialogue between cultures. She further reflected upon
    the challenges of living as Armenians in Turkey.

    Also organized by Haigazian University, Mrs. Dink had the opportunity to
    meet with a select group of Armenian women representing different
    denominations, institutions, and cultural organizations in Lebanon,
    sharing with them her personal experience vis a vis the assassination of
    her late husband, her faith, values and priorities in life, as well as
    her new challenges.
