EPP-ED Group in the European Parliament
The Chairman of the EPP-ED Group in the European Parliament has
condemned the assassination in Istanbul on Friday of Hrant Dink, a
Turkish journalist of Armenian origin. For Joseph Daul this act of
violence is completely unacceptable. "I strongly condemn and deplore
every attack on freedom of expression and on freedom of the press,
which are at the heart of the values of our society. On my own behalf
and on behalf of the Members of the EPPE-ED Group, I present my
sincere condolences to the family of the victim."
The Chairman of the largest political group in the European
Parliament has asked the Turkish legal authorities to quickly
investigate this outrage.
