Dink Murder Proves Turkey's Incapability to Reconsider Dark Pages of Her History

January 22, 2007 - 16:50 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - On behalf of the Russian people we condemn the assassination of Hrant Dink in Istanbul, says the joint statement received by PanARMENIAN.Net from the Association of the Russian-Armenian Friendship, the Russian-Armenian Commonwealth and "Ararat" Armenian Cultural and Enlightening Society.



"We think that the murder was committed as result the state denial policy of Genocide denial, systematic incitement of hatred against Armenians and infringement of rights of national minorities in Turkey. The murder is the barbarian conclusion of political persecutions of the Turkish Armenian journalist for his dissent. This crime proves Turkey's incapability to reconsider the dark pages of her history and have a place in the community of civilized states," the document says.
