/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Actions of Armenian youth organizations in
commemoration of Hrant Dink are going on in Armenia. January 22 members
of the Nikol Aghbalian ARF Dashnaktsutyun Youth Union and other 20
youth organizations gathered at the Yerevan State University and
then marched to the EU Office. The action participants were carrying
the Armenian tricolor and transparencies. "Turkey, your hands are in
blood," one of them said. The young people lighted candles at Dink’s
portrait and commemorated him with a minute of silence.

They called upon the EU to be more vigilant and reconsider its stance
on Turkey’s accession. Abram Gasparyan, member of the Nikol Aghbalian
Union said the Armenian Genocide is continued in Turkey. In 1915 the
Genocide was also launched with killings of intelligentsia. "People
are killed in Turkey because they are Armenians. Any of 80 thousand
Armenians living in Turkey may fall victim," he said.

The initiators informed that wreaths will be laid in Tsitsernakaberd
January 23 and a commemoration ceremony will be held in the Armenian
Genocide Museum. The Nikol Aghbalian Union is also going to organize
a collection of signatures condemning such crimes, reports IA Regnum.
