Protest march in Yerevan for Hrant Dink; Parisians to march on
Saturday
The Armenian capital Yerevan yesterday was the site of a large
protest march in honor of journalist Hrant Dink, who was slain in
Istanbul last Friday.
According to reports, the march included more than 100 thousand
citizens, who arrived in Yerevan from all parts of the country;
marchers carried large photographs of Hrant Dink, as well as posters
calling for a change to Turkey's controversial article 301 of the
Turkish Penal Code.
Meanwhile, preparations are going in on France in advance of a large
protest march planned for January 27 in Paris in memory of Hrant
Dink. The march, which organizers are saying will be silent, will
bring together a number of civil society groups under banners saying
"We are all Hrant, we are all Armenian," just as was seen in Istanbul
on Tuesday, the day of Dink's funeral.
