    Journalists gathered at the squares of Istanbul and Ankara on Friday
    to protest against arrests of their nine colleagues.

    About 25 journalist organizations participated in a protest action,
    Turkish Millieyt newspaper reported.

    The protestors in Istanbul were joined by family of Hrant Dink, chief
    editor of bilingual Armenian-Turkish Agos newspaper who was
    assassinated by Turkish nationalist in 2007.

    As Armenian News-NEWS.am reported earlier, about 10 people, majority
    of them journalists were arrested on Thursday in connection with the
    Ergenekon case.

    One of the arrested is correspondent of Turkish Milliyet newspaper
    Nedim Sener, author of the book telling about assassination of Hrant
    Dink, chief editor of the Armenian-Turkish Agos newspaper.

    Earlier today the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe
    (OSCE) slammed Turkish authorities for arresting several journalists
    and called on their immediate release.
