/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Artists, intellectuals will be lending their voices
to articles written by Hrant Dink, murdered journalist, publisher
and founding editor of the bilingual Armenian-Turkish weekly Agos,
to commemorate the first anniversary of his assassination.
As reported by the Turkish Daily News, on Saturday, January 5, 2008
Armenian, Alevi, Kurdish and Turkish young people in Turkey have
formed a group called Hadig to commemorate Hrant Dink on the first
anniversary of his assassination. The word Hadig literally means
'grain' in the Armenian language. The 14-member group composed of
university students gathering through a civilian initiative formed the
Tilili Project that took its name from a sentence in Dink's article
titled "Armenian Identity". A total of 19 articles written by Dink
between 1996 and 2007 for bilingual Armenian-Turkish weekly Agos
were chosen to give voice to the framework of the Tilili Project. The
number 19 symbolizes the date Jan. 19, the day Dink was murdered in
front of Agos building. Dink's articles were read aloud by some of
Turkey's respected artists.
Again symbolizing the date Dink was assassinated, 19 artists and
intellectuals are participating in the project, where the biggest
surprise is the recorded voice of Dink himself while reading his
article titled "Water finds its crack". Hadig members Sibil Cekmen
and Yeliz Kyzylarslan said the Turkish media influenced Dink's
assassination by focusing only on his articles that focus on the
Turkish-Armenian issue.
For this reason, they say, the group will present 19 different articles
by Dink, each reflecting his different opinions on various issues.
