Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan yesterday met with representatives
of non-governmental organizations in Trabzon in the wake of the
murder last month of Hrant Dink, a Turkish journalist of Armenian
descent. Ogun Samast, Dink's confessed murderer, came from the Black
Sea city. During the meeting, Erdogan said that people should guard
against provocations, adding that rather than brandishing guns,
he wants to see young people shaping humanity with pencils and pens
in hand. Commenting on arguments that Trabzon doesn't deserve to be
linked to Dink's violent death, Erdogan said that a person from any
province could have committed the murder. "We shouldn't allow those who
want to shatter our unique structure and the hopes of our children,"
stressed Erdogan.
