ISTANBUL/ANKARA – A group of people who held a sit-in protest to
condemn assassination of Hrant Dink, editor-in-chief of bilingual
Turkish-Armenian weekly Agos, in Taksim district marched towards

Protestors chanted slogans and carried banners reading "All We Are
Hrant Dink" and "We Condemn Those Who Murdered Hrant Dink".
On the other hand, nearly 700 people from several nongovernmental
organizations held a demonstration to protest killing of Dink in
