    HRANT DINK TO VISIT KRASNODAR REGION IN SEPTEMBER

    In September 2006 Hrant Dink, editor-in-chief of the Ankara based
    Armenian Agos newspaper will visit the Krasnodar region of Russia. As
    reported by the Yerkramas, the newspaper of Armenians of Russia,
    Dink's visit is private, however he is expected to hold meetings with
    the representatives of the local Armenian Diaspora.

    As it was reported earlier, the Turkish court of first instance
    sentenced the editor-in-chief to 6 months of imprisonment for
    "outrage of Turkish national dignity" in February 2006, since in one
    of his articles he wrote that " Turks' hostility poisons the blood of
    Armenians." At that time the judges decreed that the journalist called
    Turkish blood poisonous. However the Court of Appeal concluded that the
    accusation against Dink was brought through misunderstanding. Recently
    the General Prosecutor's Office of Turkey fully acquitted Hrant Dink.
