/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Yesterday in the evening, approximately when the
Turkish Prime Minister visited slain Armenian-Turkish bilingual
weekly editor-in-chief Hrant Dink’s family, the ‘Agos’ editorial
office received a letter from an earlier unknown ultra-nationalistic
organization "Squadron of Avengers", RFE RL reports. Particularly, the
letter says, "After killing of a priest in Trabzon one more enemy of
Turkey died and next time the whole ‘Agos’ editorial office will blast
in order all the enemies would die." The unknown author of the letter
underlines that these warnings concern those who will dare express
their dreams aloud. "If you call the events of 1915 a ‘genocide’, it
means that you have not seen real genocide. Genocide starts now," says
the letter. After receiving the letter ‘Agos’ staff immediately turned
to the police. Currently the editorial office is surrounded by law
enforcement bodies. The building has undergone a thorough search, but
no explosive device was found. But security services continue to keep
the district, where ‘Agos’ office is situated, under strong control.
