Hrant Dink Had Presentiment about His Death?
"The first that comes to mind is my conversations with Hrant Dink. He used to say he is in danger. One should have big courage to speak in the Turkish public of topics Dink dared to speak," Director of the Institute of Oriental Studies at the RA Academy of Sciences Ruben Safrastyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. In his words, Dink's assassination has become a logical and tragic result of the current situation in Turkey. "The wide-scale Armenian Genocide denial campaign launched by the Turkish authorities has created an atmosphere of anti-Armenian psychosis. Hrant Dink fell the first victim to this policy," Safrastayn underscored.
