    " You Can't Divide Turkey "

    Turkey commemorated the assassination of Turkish Armenian Journalist
    Hrant Dink. Hundred thousands of Turkish people took part ceremonies
    organised in lots of cities for anniversary of Dink assasination.
    Turkish people commerated Dink by carrying black banners saying `We
    are all Armenian, We are all Hrant' and `For Hrant For Justice'. They
    protested assassination by shouting together `We are all Hrant'
    slogan in four languages; Turkish, Kurdish, English, Armenian. Their
    message to murderers was very clear: You can't divide Turkey.

    Dink, editor in chief of bilingual Agos Newspaper was killed by Ogun
    Samast, a 17 year old boy. Police arrested Samast just 1 week after
    the assassinaton but unfortunately couldn't enlighten the darkness
    felt on Turkey. According to interrogation Hrant Dink was threatened
    many times and he had complained police about threating e-mail and
    telephone calls. It is claimed also Turkish police, intelligence
    services and military intelligence services was aware of
    assassination before complaints of Dink but had watched this murderer
    like a movie. Although Dink has mentioned these threats in his column
    at Agos Newspaper. He wrote, lots of people had called and asked him
    to leave Turkey unless he would be killed. Lots of times he defied
    threats and said he wouldn't leave and punish his enemies while being
    buried in his country- Turkey. Once Dink likened himself to a
    pigeon....the symbol of peace killed while trying reach his burrow.

    As a courageous journalist one more time Dink uncovered a news, and
    showed Turkey's secret real traitors with his death. Thousands of
    Turkish people commemorated Dink and proved they will never leave
    Turkey to reign of secret traitors.
