Vartan Oskanian: we call on the Turkish authorities indeed to do everything to identify those responsible.

ARI MOVEMENT: We are in deep sorrow due to the murder of Hrant Dink, editor of Agos newspaper. We strongly condemn this cruel act.

Richard Giragosian: His death will now challenge the Turkish authorities to move strongly to prevent such anti-Armenian violence, which is unacceptable for any modern country.

Ruben Safrastyan: One should have big courage to speak in the Turkish public of topics Dink dared to speak.
