    Protests To Condemn Killing Of Dink In Istanbul And Ankara


    ISTANBUL/ANKARA - A group of people who held a sit-in protest to
    condemn assassination of Hrant Dink, editor-in-chief of bilingual
    Turkish-Armenian weekly Agos, in Taksim district marched towards
    Sisli district in Istanbul.
    Protestors chanted slogans and carried banners reading "All We Are
    Hrant Dink" and "We Condemn Those Who Murdered Hrant Dink".

    On the other hand, nearly 700 people from several nongovernmental
    organizations held a demonstration to protest killing of Dink in
    Kizilay Square in Ankara.

    Ismail Hakki Tombul, chairman of the Confederation of Public Sector
    Labor Unions (KESK), said that Dink was murdered in a disgraceful
    attack, noting that the bullet fired at Dink was also fired at those
    who wanted to live free in Turkey.

    Meanwhile, a group of people gathered in front of Human Rights
    Monument in Yuksel Street in Ankara and chanted slogans denouncing
    assassination of Dink.
