/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Aris Babikian, the executive director of the
Armenian National Committee of Canada (ANCC), held the Turkish
Government responsible for the politically motivated assassination of
Hrant Dink. In his words, successive Turkish Governments Armenian
Genocide denial policy and the rewriting of history fanned flames of
hatred against Armenians. `In a country where the educational system
and the political culture mould the minds of the people with hatred
towards ethnically non-Turkish citizens and where racist and extreme
right-wing organizations occupy a place of power, this is a sad
reminder that things haven't changed much in Turkey since 1915. This
vile murder proves once again that racism has deep roots in Turkey,'
added ANCC's executive director. He says `silencing Hrant Dink' proves
once again that the genocidal mentality in Turkey still prevails and
the Turkish Government is not interested in reconciling with the
Armenian people and in atoning for its crimes against Armenians. The
Turkish Government should come clean and once and for all recognize
the Armenian Genocide and put an end to the cycle of hatred,'
concluded the Executive Director.
Meanwhile, as independent French journalist Jean Eckian told the
PanARMENIAN.Net corespondent, Armenian National Committee of France
(CDCA), moved by the assassination of Hrant Dink, organized this
evening with precipitation a meeting of the Armenians of Paris in Town
hall of 9th sector to pay homage to the great journalist of Armenian
origin. CDCA makes responsible Turkish State of this crime.
