Description
Hrant Dink (September 15, 1954 – January 19, 2007) was a Turkish-Armenian editor, journalist and columnist.

As editor-in-chief of the bilingual Turkish-Armenian newspaper Agos (Ակօս ), Dink was a prominent member of the Armenian minority in Turkey. Dink was best known for his opinions on methods towards a Turkish-Armenian reconciliation and on human and minority rights in Turkey with a special emphasis on the rights of the Armenian minority and was often critical of both Turkey's denial of the Armenian genocide, and of the Armenian diaspora's campaign for its international recognition. Regarding his statements Dink was prosecuted three times for denigrating Turkishness and received numerous death threats from Turkish nationalists who accused him of treachery.

Hrant Dink was assassinated in Istanbul on January 19, 2007, allegedly by Ogün Samast, an ultra-nationalist Turk. While Samast has since been taken into custody, pictures of Dink's alleged killer holding up a Turkish flag, flanked by smiling Turkish police and gendarmerie officers, have since surfaced, triggering a wave of investigations and the removal from office of those involved.

In his funeral, one hundred thousand mourners walked against the ideas that killed him, chanting "we are all Armenians" and "we are all Hrant Dink". The criticisms against Article 301 grew even larger after his death, leading to the proposals of change in the parliament. (wikipedia)

This shots were taken at Ankara at the same day of funeral(January, 19 2007). Poets and writers gathered for protest of assasination and sold "Agos" newspaper at the street. They walked from konur sok. to sakarya..Lots of people joined them..

This is a poet (Ahmet Telli) selling Agos..
