Killing Of Hrant Dink – First Reaction From The United States

WASHINGTON – An executive of U.S. Secretary of State said Friday that
they strongly condemn this villainous murder, as a first reaction
from the United States over assassination of Hrant Dink,
editor-in-chief of bilingual Turkish-Armenian weekly Agos.

"This is a villainous murder. We have deep sorrow. We send our
condolences to Dink’s family," the U.S. executive told A.A.

Dink was shot in front of his office building in Sisli district of
Istanbul today, and died instantly at the scene.
