HRANT DINK: His Legacy and His Challenge - A Tribute

Hrant Dink was a taboo-breaking member of the Armenian community in Turkey and editor-in-chief of the bilingual Turkish-Armenian weekly "Agos" newspaper. A prominent critical voice, Hrant Dink was also a sincere advocate of Turkish-Armenian dialogue. He was shot and killed in front of his newspaper office on January 19, 2007.
