Istanbul -- More than 100,000 mourners choked the streets of Istanbul
yesterday for the funeral of an ethnic Armenian journalist whose
slaying sparked debate about freedom of expression and whether Turks
of different backgrounds can live together.
"We are all Armenians!" mourners chanted in an extraordinary
outpouring of affection for editor Hrant Dink, who had made enemies
among nationalist Turks by labelling the mass killings of Armenians
as genocide.
