Armenian Revolutionary Federation Bureau made a statement condemning
Hrant Dink's assassination.
The statement reads: "This brutal crime is a new threat against the
rights and existence of Armenians in Turkey. Turkey's government bears
the entire responsibility for this killing.
Dink was killed because of his political views. Views that were one of
its kind on the rights of Turkey's remaining Armenian remnants as well
as other minorities, the Armenia-Turkey relations and the issue of the
Armenian Genocide recognition by Turkey, always taking into account the
interests of "civilized" Turkey.
Views for which he had been harassed by the Turkish government. Dink's
killing showed once again that pluralism is not tolerated in Turkey. We
are extending our sympathies to Dink's family.
ARF Bureau, January 19, 2007, Yerevan."
