Slain Turkish- Armenian journalist Hrant Dink will be commemorated on
the second anniversary of his murder. A group who called themselves
"Hrant's Friends" have long been calling for people to gather in
front of the weekly multilingual newspaper Agos in central Å~^iÅ~_li,
where Dink was killed. "We will gather together as citizens who
believe in the fraternity of people regardless of any differences in
religion, language, race, gender and political views," the newspaper
advertisement of the group stated. The group will meet under the
slogan, "For Hrant, for justice," Hurriyet Daily reported.
Hrant Dink's lawyer Cetin said in an interview with Hurriyet Daily
that many suspects in the Ergenekon investigation were active in the
planning of Dink's murder. "The Ergenekon gang is a deep organization
and as long as the true leaders remain free, the real instigators of
Dink's murder will never be captured," she said.
After years of ignoring threats to his life, Armenian Turkish
journalist Hrant Dink became agitated days before a nationalist
teenager shot him Jan 19, 2007 in front of the Armenian weekly Agos,
his lawyer of many years Fethiye Cetin said.
Cetin said she had been Dink's lawyer for three years when he was
gunned down, and said she was with him when Dink20was found guilty of
insulting "Turkishness" under Article 301 of the Turkish Penal Code,
or TCK, for an article he had written. In the article, he called on
Armenians to free themselves of the hate felt toward Turks because
that was the only way for them to create a future.
