During the sitting in Brussels on 29-30 January the Armenia-EU
Parliamentary Cooperation Commission respected the memory of the
editor-n-chief of the Agos daily Hrant Dink with a minute of silence,
Co-Chair of the Commission, Chairman of the NA Standing Committee on
Foreign Relations Armen Rustamyan said at a press conference today.
According to him, the resolution adopted by the Commission as a
result of two-day activity also includes reference to Hrant Dink's
assassination. It is noted, in particular, that "the Commission
severely denounces the assassination of Turkish-Armenian journalist,
public figure Hrant Dink, who was the forerunner of human rights
defense in Turkey. He always promoted the establishment of full
democracy in Turkey through the process of accession to the European
Union. He was the supporter of opening of the Armenian-Turkish border
and recognition of the Armenian Genocide." The Commission called
on Turkish authorities to undertake urgent measures to disclose the
reasons and those who ordered the murder to prevent the reoccurrence
of similar crimes.
