    Five thousand gather in sit-down protest of Hrant Dink assassination


    Five thousand people gathered yesterday evening in Taksim Square in a
    sit-down protest against the assassination of Hrant Dink, the
    Editor-in-chief of the Armenian Community's newspaper, Agos, which
    took place earlier in the day. The protestors proceeded to march
    towards the newspaper's office carrying photographs of Mr. Dink,
    candles, torches, and flowers.

    The crowd, which had doubled in number by the time they had reached
    the Agos building, sang and clapped hands in protest as well as
    shouting such slogans as, `We are all Hrant Dink. We are all
    Armenians', and `Hrant Dink's murderer is this country's betrayer'.
