/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The German MFA spread Germany’s official statement
as a EU Chairman-in-Office state on bilingual Armenian-Turkish `Agos’
weekly editor Hrant Dink’s assassination. The statement says, the EU
Chairman-in-Office state is indignant at this disgusting murder and
expresses its deep condolences to the family members and friends of
Hrant Dink.’ `The Chairman-in-Office is sure that the Turkish
authorities will reveal this criminal act as soon as possible and does
not have slightest doubts that Ankara will keep on going through the
way of fulfilling freedom of opinion,’ the statement says.
The German MFA also underscores Hrant Dink was a brave journalist, who
realized that his professional activity on the fight for democracy and
freedom of opinion, harbors a great risk for his own life. `But at the
same time he always kept the sense of proportion and avoided provoking
confrontation. He unambiguously was in favor of democratic reforms in
Turkey. That’s why Hrant Dink enjoyed great respect not only among
different layers of Turkish society but also in Europe,’ says the
document, RIA `Novosti’ reports.
