    Armenian churches to mourn slain journalist

    Armenian churches throughout the world will hold special remembrance
    services on Sunday for slain Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink,
    church authorities said.

    "Dink's untimely death has shocked all of us. We condemn this murder,
    which took away a talented and brave son of his people, with profound
    indignation," Armenian patriarch Karekin II said in a statement on
    Saturday.

    The press service of the Armenian Church said a special memorial
    service for Dink would be held Sunday in all Armenian churches,
    including the main cathedral of Echmiadzin.

    Outside of Armenia, there are also many Armenian churches spread
    across Europe the Middle East and the United States attended by a
    large diaspora of ethnic-Armenians.
