    SLAIN JOURNALIST TO BE REMEMBERED

    Hurriyet Daily News
    Jan 20 2012
    Turkey

    Five years after his murder, Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink,
    the editor-in-chief of weekly Agos, will be commemorated at club
    Ghetto tonight.

    Aylin Aslım, Café Aman Ä°stanbul, Gripin, Jehan Barbur, KardeÅ~_
    Turkuler, Mogollar, Mör ve Otesi, Redd, Rojin and Å~^evval Sam will
    take the stage to sing songs in different languages for peace in
    the world.

    Artist Marioz Rizzi, photographer Ara Guler and shadow puppeteer Emin
    Å~^enyer, as well as many surprise names, will also contribute to
    the event. The art director of the event is Ruken TekeÅ~_ CalıkuÅ~_u.

    Ticket revenue will be donated to the Hrant Dink Foundation. The event
    starts at 10:30 p.m. and tickets are available at Biletix booths for
    40 Turkish Liras.

    Dink was shot to death Jan. 19, 2007. The court's verdict in the case,
    which was finally announced Jan. 17, raised eyebrows by refusing to
    connect Dink's murder to his identity as an Armenian, and by indicating
    that there was no organizational structure behind the crime.
