Hrant Dink's funeral was held on January 23. As a sign of respect
to Hrant Dink's memory a number of rallies were held in different
parts of Armenia with calls and appeals. A similar march was held in
Vanadzor on the initiative of Lory TV Station.
"Hrant Dinks live inside each of us, we are all Armenians", "The
Genocide still continues", "The hands of Turkey are in blood" and
suchlike posters could be seen everywhere, in the hands of students,
intelligentsia who headed from the Vanadzor State Pedagogical Institute
to St. Astvatsatsin Church.
"This was the least we could do in memory of Hrant Dink", said one of
the students. "I couldn't sleep a wink the whole night after hearing
about Hrant Dink's assassination. Turks must bear responsibility for
their actions. Armenians will have heroes like Njdeh, Gevorg Chaush,
Andranik who will be remembered for their deeds", said one of the
teachers while expressing her indignity.
The head of the diocese greeted the initiative of Lori TV Station
and condemned the absence of the authorities from the rally. "I would
like our high-rank officials to know the history of the country quite
well as the history passes down from one generation to generation
with their help".
"The journalist of Lori TV Station have even released an announcement
under which they condemn the assassination of Hrant Dink and qualify
it as a heavy blow to the freedom of expression and the rights of
ethnic minorities, resulted by Turkey's anti-Armenian stance. The
announcement says, "We deeply mourn over the loss of Hrant Dink and
condole with his relatives, friends and promise to continue Dink's
work with joint efforts and in firm alliance".
