Turks and Armenians commemorated Hrant Dink in Paris

January 29, 2007 - 20:14 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Over a thousand Turks and Armenians marched together in Paris on Saturday to commemorate Agos editor Hrant Dink, who made great efforts for a dialogue between the two people. Three Armenian organizations and the Turkish Citizens Unity Association (Racort) held a silent march in honor of Dink in the capital of France, a country that has a strong anti-Turkey lobby. The Armenian Diaspora Research Center, the Armenian Audiovisual Association, the Armenian cultural Association (J'APPEL) all accepted Racort's invitation to participate in the march. However, the Armenian Case Defense Committee (CDCA) and the Committee for Coordination of Armenian Associations of France did not respond to the invitation, reports Cihan News Agency.
