“ Turkey should act swiftly to bring justice to the
memory of Hrant Dink.
This hate and denial produces an environment of fear. This
environment produces extreme nationalist organizations that manipulate
young men to kill in the name of the Turkish Republic. ”

“ The many involved in Hrant Dink's
killing, from members of the gendarmerie to extremist nationalists,
have been charged or imprisoned for their actions, but it has become
apparent that Istanbul and Trabzon's security departments had
information that Hrant Dink would be killed, but failed in their duty
to protect him. ”
