The Jury of the International Hrant Dink Award announced submission
of nominations for 2010 Award.
The annual International Hrant Dink Award is presented to individuals,
organizations and groups that work for a free and just world without
discrimination, racism and violence, who take personal risks for
achieving those ideals, who break the stereotypes by giving inspiration
and hope to others. With this Award, the Hrant Dink Foundation aims
to remind all those who struggle for these ideals that their voices
are heard and they are not alone.
The winners will be announced on September 15, 2010, on the birthday
of Hrant Dink, Editor-in-Chief of Agos Armenian-Turkish newspaper,
who was assassinated in Istanbul on January 19, 2007.
