    The European Court of Human Rights found the Turkish state guilty of
    Hrant Dink's murder, Turkish Hurriyet Daily News reports.

    The court found the Turkish state guilty on two charges, sentencing
    the state to pay 133,595 euros to Dink's family in compensation and
    an extra payment of 28,595 euros to the court for expenditures.

    Turkish-Armenian journalist, chief editor of Agos newspaper Hrant
    Dink was assassinated in Istanbul in January 2007, by a Turkish
    nationalist. He was critical of Turkey's denial of the Armenian
    Genocide in his columns in Agos. Dink was prosecuted three times for
    denigrating Turkishness, while receiving numerous death threats from
    Turkish nationalists.
