Turkish Journalists' Association to commemorate Dink

PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkish Journalists' Association will commemorate the slain editor-in-chief of Agos weekly during a conference on Jan 20.

Dink was murdered on Jan 19, 2007 in Istanbul. He had received numerous death threats from Turkish nationalists who viewed his journalism, particularly on the Armenian Genocide, as treacherous. Dink was shot twice in the head and once in the neck by a 17-year-old Turkish nationalist, Ogün Samast, outside the offices of the newspaper he founded in 1996.
