  Hrant Dink Is The Latest Victim of The Armenian GenocideJanuary 20, 2007 - 15:29 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Hrant Dink is the latest victim of the Armenian Genocide, Harut Sassounian, editor of The California Courrier told the PanARMENIAN.Net journalist. In his words, the Turkish government has a large share of responsibility in this cold-blooded assassination.

May God bless his soul," Sassounian said.  Top stories Authorities said a total of 192 Azerbaijani troops were killed and 511 were wounded during Azerbaijan’s offensive.
