Thousands of people gathered earlier today in the Å?iÅ?li district of
Istanbul to commemorate the sixth anniversary of the assassination of
Hrant Dink, a Turkish journalist of Armenian origin, daily Hürriyet
has reported.
The crowd stood in homage at 3:05 p.m., the exact time of Dink's
death, in front of the Agos newspaper building where he was killed.
Hidayet Å?evkatli Tuksal, a daily Taraf journalist, renownedAmerican
linguist Noam Chomsky and Rakel Dink, Hrant Dink's wife, made
speeches. The crowd also listened to a recorded speech Dink had given
prior to his death, which was played for all to hear.
The Friends of Hrant Dink organization established in memory of the
late journalist has called the event `We are here, brother' and is
preparing to call for justice during the demonstration.
Following the commemoration, the crowd walked to Taksim square,
shouting slogans such as, `We all are Hrant, we all are Armenian.'
Police reportedly intervened in the march, where some people were at
risk of being crushed due to the large crowds, and used pepper gas
against some demonstrators, thr Hurriyet Daily News reports.
