ISTANBUL (Combined Sources)-Friends of Hrant Dink, the assassinated
editor-in-chief of the Turkish-Armenian weekly Agos, will hold a
march to the Agos editorial office on January 19 to commemorate the
fifth anniversary of his death.
In a statement, the group called for a fair punishment of those who
plotted and committed Dink's murder.|
"Hrant Dink was killed on January 19, 2007. Five years have passed
since then, yet the fact that two people actually plotted and
perpetrated his assassination will never convince us. Those who
threatened Dink and ordered his murder, and set a trap against him
ridding themselves of the affair are making a mock of our grief. We
do not want a predetermined trial that would punish only those who
shoot a bullet at Dink ... We still have a lot to do. People who
have conscience have been suffering from an aggravating pain for
five years. If we forget all this we'll once again kill our friend,
leaving a handle to new murders," reads the statement.
