FAITHFUL ENCOURAGED TO SUPPORT FUND FOR FAMILY OF SLAIN JOURNALIST
The Diocese of the Armenian Church of America (Eastern) has established the
Hrant Dink Family Support Fund to help the family of the slain
Armenian-Turkish journalist.
Your generous gifts will assure the future security of Hrant's family,
following Dink's killing outside the offices of Agos, the weekly newspaper
in Istanbul he led, on January 19, 2007.
"All Armenians should be thankful that such a man as Hrant Dink existed,
that he exercised his voice and fought for the recognition of the truth,"
said Archbishop Khajag Barsamian, Primate of the Eastern Diocese. "And so
we owe it to his family to support them now in this dark time. As Hrant
Dink stood up for the Armenian community, so too must the Armenian community
step forward for his family."
The Primate has encouraged each parish in the Eastern Diocese to hold
fundraising events to raise donations for the fund.
Donations can be sent to the Diocese at 630 Second Ave., New York, NY 10016.
Checks should be made out to "Diocese of the Armenian Church of America
(Eastern)", with "Hrant Dink Family Support Fund" in the memo line.
To download a donation form or make your secure on-line donation, visit our
website at: www.armenianchurch.net/dink.
Charitable tax-deductible gift receipts will be issued by the Diocese.
