HRANT DINK WAS DOOMED TO DEATH: PERSON IN CHARGE OF "TEKEYAN"
ORGANIZATION'S OFFICE IN USA AND CANADA
Yerevan, January 26. ArmInfo. The Editor-in-Chief of "Agos" newspaper,
Hrant Dink, killed in Istanbul on January 19, was doomed to death
under modern conditions of the Turkish society, the person in charge
of the "Tekeyan" organization's office in the USA and Canada, a
member of Ramkavar Azatakan party Yervand Azatyan said at today's
press-conference.
He underlined that the Armenian community of Turkey, unlike the
Armenian Diaspora in other countries, behaves extremely gingerly
and cautiously, taking care of its business and daily needs only
and tries not to "show itself". And there appears a journalist who
make an accent in his publications not so much on the necessity
of recognizing the Armenian Genocide by Turkey as on "stopping to
consider the national minorities, living in Turkey - the Assyrians,
Armenians, Curds and others the slaves of the Ottoman Turkey".
Naturally, a radically disposed part of the Turkish society could
not forgive Hrant Dink for this, Azatyan said.
As for the response of the Armenian, Turkish and international press
for the murder of Hrant Dink, the Armenian press, according to Y.
Azatyan, has responded rather emotionally, not without an anti-Turkish
hysteria. The Turkish press has also responded emotionally, but in
its typical manner - one newspaper even tried to reveal the Armenian
roots at H. Dink's killer. As for the international Media, the American
press did not respond at all, while the European Mass Media have even
managed to come out with analytical calculations, Y. Azatyan said.
