YEREVAN, JULY 1, ARMENPRESS. The Armenian National Committee of South
America awarded the famous Argentine journalist Reynaldo Sietekas with
Hrant Dink certificate of honor. When receiving the award, Sietekas
admitted that it was a great honor for him to receive the certificate
of honor bearing the name of Hrant Dink. He noted that he had studied
Hrant Dink's story and journalistic activities and believed that the
award was a signal that he should continue to work honorably.
Prensa armena.com reports that Sietekas said that he had his own view
of Armenia and the Armenian issue and as a person, who defends human
rights and spreads humanitarian ideas, could not, both as a person
and as a journalist, be indifferent toward the Armenian Genocide.
"When I was collecting documents and materials on the Armenian
Genocide, I could see the pain in the eyes of the people who were in
any way related to these terrible events. But the feeling of pain has
a meaning and significance. Such a pain is the symbol of the existence
of consciousness"- as reports "Armenpress", said Sietekase receiving
the award, adding that Hrant Dink was a great humanist and he was
killed because he was critical to the intolerance against national
minorities which was a part of the state policy of Turkey. The awarding
ceremony was attended by the representatives of the political, social
and media elite of Argentina.
The Argentine Armenians have been granting such awards since 2001.
After the tragic murder of Istanbul-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink
in 2007, the certificate of honor bore his name. During all this
time, such certificates have been granted to as many as 22 Argentine
journalists.
