/PanARMENIAN.Net/ A monument at California State University Sonoma
honoring the survivors and victims of genocides and hate crimes now
bears the name of Agos Armenian weekly's founder, Hrant Dink, alongside
the names of peace activists and visionaries such as Mahatma Gandhi,
the Dalai Lama, Albert Einstein, Vaclav Havel and Pete Seeger.
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 honor.
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.
