WHAT WERE THE AIMS OF HRANT DINK?
`Hrant fought for the democratization of Turkey. He
was deeply sure that Turkey would recognize the
genocide not because of external but internal
pressures as a result of its democratization,' Arsen
Avagyan, department head of political programming of
the ministry of foreign affairs, told reporters today.
`Even the murder of Hrant Dink was the continuation of
the cause he fought for and will serve its aims,' Azat
Yeghiazaryan, director of national institute of
literature, added.
One of the aims of Hrant Dink was to bring the
Armenian and Turkish societies closer and he planned
to establish a center of Turkish Studies in Yerevan.
In the words of Avagyan, Dink had accomplished a lot
to that aim and obtained a lot of literature. One of
his articles was titled, `The anti-poison for a Turk
is an Armenian and for an Armenian - a Turk.' He
strongly believed the two nations must lay a bridge
between them and tackle problems together.
Hakob Movses, writer and translator, said the murder
makes us reconsider the relations with Turkey.
