WASHINGTON: The State Department said Friday the slaying of an
Armenian-Turkish journalist in Istanbul was a "tragic incident."
Deputy spokesman Tom Casey noted that Hrant Dink, 53, a Turkish
citizen, had received threats for his writing.
"Certainly we never want to see a situation in which individuals are
intimidated or in fact suffer retribution of any kind simply for
freely expressing their views," Casey said.
