    CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY NOW BEARS HRANT DINK'S NAME

    A monument at California State University Sonoma honoring the survivors
    and victims of genocides and hate crimes now bears the name of Hrant
    Dink, alongside the names of peace activists and visionaries such
    as Mahatma Gandhi, the Dalai Lama, Albert Einstein, Vaclav Havel and
    Pete Seeger, reports the Hrant Dink Foundation.

    Hrant Dink's name was added in March thanks to the sponsorship of
    Armenian organizations in California, which financed a memorial
    "brick" in Dink's honour.

    Dink's widow, Rakel Dink, visited the monument during a September 28 -
    October 6 trip to the U.S., where she was hosted by Mgrditch Melkonyan,
    pastor of the First Armenian Presbyterian Church of Fresno, California.
