/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Hrant Dink, the Editor-in-Chief of the ‘Akos’
Istanbul-based Armenian newspaper, was awarded with Bjornson Prize
for the publications on the Armenian Genocide of 1915. The DPA report
says that Hrant Dink has many times referred to the issue that is
considered disputable in Turkey. The report reminds that in summer
2006 the Turkish Court of Cassations upheld the decision of the First
Instance Court on the journalist’s suspended sentence. Hrant Dink
will receive the $15200 prize in the city of Molde on November 24,
