Gov't condemns murder of Turkish journalist
Foreign Minister Dora Bakoyiannis on Saturday deplored the murder
of Hrant Dink, a Turkish journalist of Armenian descent.
Dink had worked for the fundamental right to freedom of speech,
Bakoyiannis said in a statement.
"This cold-blooded murder runs contrary to the Turkish people's
efforts to win a future in Europe," the statement said.
"Greece unreservedly condemns any act of violence or terrorism,
and hopes for a swift resolution and punishment for the
perpetrators," it added.
Dink, editor of the bilingual Turkish-Armenian weekly Agos, was
shot in broad daylight as he left his office in Istanbul on Friday.
