Thousands gathered yesterday at the site in Istanbul where Armenian
journalist Hrant Dink was killed three years ago, a slaying that
caused a national outcry.
The crowd - numbering around 2,000 to 3,000 according to police -
braved snowfall to gather outside the offices of the Agos newspaper
where Dink was editor-in-chief, chanting "The murderer state has to
account for this!", "We know the murderers, we want justice!".
"As long as light is not shed on this murder, we will be here, we
will not give up," said one of the many people who addressed the
crowd from the window of the Agos office from which hung a picture
of the slain journalist.
Several people left carnations and candles at the place where then
52-year-old Dink was killed on January 19, 2007.
The gunman, an unemployed nationalist who was 17 at the time, was
captured shortly after the killing. He went on trial along with 19
suspected accomplices in 2007.
