/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Swedish officials, the Armenian community as well
as representatives of Turkish intelligentsia and the Turkish Central
Federation of Sweden condemned the assassination of editor of Agos
Armenian-Turkish newspaper Hrant Dink. As chairman of the Association
of Armenians of Europe Karo Hakobian told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter,
Sweden joins the international community in condemning Dink’s killing.

Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt, members of political parties and
NGOs also condemned the outrageous crime. A protest action initiated
by the Turkish Central Federation of Sweden (TCFS) – the biggest
organization of national minorities – was held in Stockholm on Tuesday
with participation of the Armenian, Kurdish and Assyrian communities
as well as members of Swedish state and public organizations.

When addressing the attendees, head of the TCFS resumed his speech
with the slogan "We are all Hrant Dinks, we are all Armenians." The
action participants with a minute of silence commemorated Hrant Dink,
who was killed by the same bloody hand that claimed lives of millions
of his ancestors. Representatives of Turkish and Kurdish organizations
laid a black wreath to the Turkish Embassy in Stockholm.

The Coordination Center of Armenian Unions will organize a mass
rally with participation of national minorities, political and public
figures in Stockholm January 27.
