MOURNING PROCESSION IN MEMORY OF HRANT DINK HELD ON JANUARY 23 IN
SYUNIK REGIONAL CENTER

KAPAN, JANUARY 23, NOYAN TAPAN. On January 23, RPA Syunik regional
youth and Syunyats Artsivner (Syunik Eagles) non-governmental
organizations organized a mourning procession in memory of Agos
newspaper’s editor-in-chief Hrant Dink. The procession ended in
the square near Syunik regional center’s palace of culture, by
candle-lighting. Representatives of regional and town authorities,
RPA Kapan territorial board members, residents of Kapan and other
populated areas of the region took part in the procession.

"The murder of Armenian officer Gurgen Margarian in Budapest was
followed by Hrant Dink’s murder and this is a crime against the
Armenian kind. I think such murders will continue until the Turkish
people makes its government admit the fact of the Armenian Genocide,"
Syunyats Artsivner NGO Chairman Khachik Asrian declared.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
