Turkey has no place in civilized society

Once again Turkey proved itself not worthy being integrated into EU. The murder of the Editor-in-Chief of the bilingual Armenian-Turkish magazine Agos killed all the hopes for the development of any democratic values in this country. Hrant Dink has been targeted by the Turkish Community for a long time, and one of the reasons was that Dink was a living embodiment of "the enemy", and not for some nationalistic circles only, who fought for the "Turkish Nation and its unblemished history". The journalist was treated in a way, typical of Turks.
