    The gathering counting thousands in the Liberty Square started when
    the funeral of Hrant Dink was held in front of the editorial office
    of Agos in Istanbul. A requiem service was offered in the Mother See
    of Holy Echmiatsin for the rest of Dink's soul.

    Participants of the action in the Liberty Square were holding
    condemning slogans reading "We are all Hrants" and "Turkey, is it the
    way to European Union?" The participants were noting that Dink's
    assassination will not silence the free speech and the historic
    justice should win. Those who have convictions and faith are not
    lonely. They have millions of supporters in Armenia and the whole
    world. Dink's life and work was presented, his acquaintances and
    friends told memories.

    "We mourn and believe that at last the idea will win," said RA Deputy
    Foreign Minister Gegham Gharibjanyan. In his words, this dirty crime
    shocked the whole world, everyone condemns the felony. "Everyone
    will benefit if nationalism is not endorsed," said the Deputy
    Foreign Minister.

    US Charge Chargé d'Affaires Anthony Godfrey characterized Hrant
    Dink's murder as a great loss and expressed his condolence to all
    Armenians of the world. He expressed hope that the tragedy will
    be an opportunity to move forward, improve the Armenian-Turkish
    relations and open the border. In response to the question whether
    it will promote the recognition of the Armenian Genocide, Anthony
    Godfrey noted that "the question is being discussed in Washington."
    US representatives will attend the journalist's funeral in Istanbul.
