    Montreal Armenians commemorate Hrant Dink

    MONTREAL JANUARY 24, 2007

    On Tuesday January 23rd 2007 a rally was held in Dorchester Square
    in the heart of Montreal; to commemorate Hrant Dink and to protest
    the brutal murder that led to his untimely death. The protest was
    organized jointly by the Armenian Revolutionary Party (Tashnagtsoutoun)
    and the Armenian Democratic Liberal Party (Ramgavar).

    The rally was attended by more then 400 people who had gathered
    to express their outrage and sorrow for the latest victim of the
    Armenian Genocide.

    Representatives from both political parties addressed the crowd
    and emphasized the importance of unmasking the real perpetrators
    of this crime. They also emphasized the necessity for Turkey to
    end its denialist policies and for her to recognize the Armenian
    Genocide. The rally also expressed its sympathies to Rachel Dink the
    widow of Hrant Dink.

    The local media in Montreal (print, radio and TV) covered the rally
    as well as the impact of Hrant Dink's murder on the Armenian Community
    of Quebec.
