EUROPEAN PARLIAMENTARIANS INDIGNANT AT HRANT DINK MURDER
Yerevan, January 20. ArmInfo. The European Parliament is indignant at
the Jan 19 murder of the Armenian journalist Hrant Dink in Istanbul.
Turkish Daily News reports the member of the Socialist group Jan
Viermsa to be shocked with the news though it is not clear yet if it
was a political murder. What happened is awful. Attacks on journalists
cannot and must not be justified, he says.
In his turn, the former member of the European Parliament, the
activist of Social-Democratic Party of Germany Ozan Ceyhun notes that
Dink was killed just because he was Armenian. This is a serious blow
on Turkey’s steps towards democracy. The people who killed Dink are
assassins who have strongly damaged Turkey’s reputation, says Ceyhun.
