Six years after Turkish-Armenian journalist and editor of Agos Hrant
Dink was gunned down in Istanbul, hundreds of thousands of people
across the world have continuously gather to honor his memory, a trial
has seen his shooter jailed while requests have been made to overturn
a verdict that ruled out the involvement of any organized criminal
network behind his murder.
Though there have been great strides to improve Armenian-Turkish
relations in the years following Dink's untimely death, setbacks
haven't been uncommon. There were those protocols, which disastrously
failed, an Armenian Genocide bill in France that increased tensions
and several assaults on ethnic Armenians in Turkey, including the
murder of one of the Istanbul Armenian community's oldest residents,
eerily reminiscent of Dink's murder.
As debate and policy stir on, here is a short infographic with some
important numbers to remember and resources to read up on when it
comes to Dink and his legacy.

Genocide Recognition.
