  • Argentine Journalist Was Awarded Hrant Dink Certificate Of Honor

    ARGENTINE JOURNALIST WAS AWARDED HRANT DINK CERTIFICATE OF HONOR

    09:59, 1 July, 2014

    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.
