Like many countries in the world, th French of Armenian origin
paid homage to the Turkish Armenian journalist Hrant Dink, 53,
assassinated on January 19, 2007 in front the entry of the Agos’
offices, independent correspondent Jean Eckian reported from Paris.
In Paris, in the presence of several personalities of the community
including Edward Nalbandian, Armenia’s Ambassador to France, and
Alexis Govciyan, President of the Coordination Council of Armenian
Organizations in France (CCAF), several wreaths were deposited at
the Gomitas statue.
In his homily the Archbishop of Paris, Norvan Zakarian, evoked the
drama of Istanbul with a metaphor pointing out the history of Cain
and Abel.
Thus, in certain spirits, to kill or deny is much easier than the
duty to amend themselves and change rather than to face the truth.
