Hrant Dink, The Armenian journalist and editor in chief of newspaper
AGOS, who was murdered last week in Turkey, had received 2600 death
rates by email, the police reported, as well as numerous threats by
telephone and letters.
Two weeks ago the Turkish foreign minister Abdullah Gul urged all
Turkish organizations to counteract all efforts to have the genocide
of Assyrian, Armenians and Greeks recognized.
Hrant Dink was charged for the notorious paragraph 301 ("insulting
Turkish identity") in the Turkish penal code. During the trial Hrant
Dink was stigmatized by the media and was labeld a traitor and enemy
of Turkey.
Hrant Dink ended his last article with the quote below:
"I can feel restless as a dove but I know that in this country people
do not touch and disturb the doves. The doves continue their lives
in the middle of the cities. Yes indeed a bit frightened but at the
same time free."
