2007, she had "Murat Belge Bir Hayat" (Murat Belge A Life). Her latest
book, "Hrant" came out on the birthday of Hrant Dink on Sept. 15 in
2010.(1).
Hrant Dink was born in Malatya on September 15, 1954. A Turkish
intellectuals of Armenian descent. He was shot on 19 January 2007 on
the sidewalk in front of his Agos newspaper. Tuba Çandar's book

4.8 which is almost 5 stars.(2). About Çandar's "Hrant" book,
"istanbulgibbs.blogspot.com" mentioned "The writers are the hundreds
of friends, relatives and coworkers that loved and admired Hrant. They
tell his story from birth to death. I liked Hrant Dink. He seemed like
he had been a man of integrity. He reached out to all sides on the
Armenian issue and became the first to speak out on taboos decades old
in an effort to reconcile Armenians and Turks. And he spoke out for
others as well, for all of Turkey's downtrodden and martyred without
fear or compromise, regardless of race, creed, or political
background. He had been branded a traitor and a hater of Turks by the
media for suggesting Sabiha Gökçen, Atatürk's adopted daughter, had
been an Armenian orphan.(3)
In an interview with civilinet.am, on Jan. 12, 2012, Hrant Dink's
biography writer Tuba Çandar said, "We were all shot. It was not Hrant
only who was shot. We were all shot that day." It took her 3.5 years
to finish the 700 pages biography, which is in Turkish and was very
well in Istanbul, also in Diyarbakir, Malatya, Ankara and Izmir. The
book will be translated by a london based publisher to other
languages.(4)
Tuba Çandar is one of the Turkish intellectuals who is supporting the
Armenian cause, by disclosing and revealing the fact about the
Armenian Genocide. Her 700 pages book about Hrant Dink, originally
wrote in Turkish is a good source for the young Turkish generation who
like to now some of the fact about the Armenian Genocide.
