/PanARMENIAN.Net/ A group has organized a sit-in protest to condemn
assassination of Hrant Dink, editor-in-chief of bilingual
Turkish-Armenian weekly Agos in Istanbul. Protestors carried banners
reading "All We Are Hrant Dink" and "We Condemn Those Who Murdered
Hrant Dink". On the other hand, nearly 700 people from several
non-governmental organizations held a demonstration to protest killing
of Dink in Kizilay Square in Ankara. Ismail Hakki Tombul, chairman of
the Confederation of Public Sector Labor Unions, said that Dink was
murdered in a disgraceful attack, noting that the bullet fired at Dink
was also fired at those who wanted to live free in Turkey.
Meanwhile, a group of people gathered in front of Human Rights
Monument in Yuksel Street in Ankara and chanted slogans denouncing
assassination of Dink.
