More than 100 000 Turks attended Hrant Dink's funeral, slain 'Agos' weekly editor in Istanbul. Under Armenian music, which was being spread through speakerphones, the procession walks from 'Agos' editorial office to the Armenian Church and then to the Armenian cemetery, where Dink will be buried. Earlier his family had asked the participants of the march not to turn the funeral into protest. The majority of the funeral procession carries banners reading "We all are Hrants, we all are Armenians."

Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Arman Kirakossian, General Secretary of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Foundation, Karen Mirzoyan and Patriarch Hajak Barsamian, the Orthodox leader of Armenians living on the East Coast of the US, attended the funeral. Deputy Prime Minister Mehmet Ali Sahin and Interior Minister Abdulkadir Aksu represented the Turkish authorities.
