    Demonstration at Turkish embassy in Greece over Dink killing

    Athens - A crowd estimated to be in the hundreds gathered in front
    of the Turkish embassy in Athens on Monday evening to protest the
    killing of Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink in Istanbul.

    Protestors, most of them ethnic Armenians, chanted anti-Turkish
    slogans including 'the Armenian genocide continues.'

    Television pictures showed a strong police presence around the protest.

    Dink, 52, was shot dead last week outside the offices of Agos
    newspaper. He was a staunch defender of human rights in Turkey and
    the rights of the Armenian minority.

    A 17-year-old Turkish youth has been detained in connection with
    the crime.
