Hrant Dink: a journalist who died for his dream
Five years ago Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink was shot dead in Istanbul. He had had the courage to address a taboo subject in Turkey: the massacre of Armenians in 1915.
Hrant Dink was shot dead outside his office in 2007 I come from Turkey. I am an Armenian. I belong entirely to Anatolia. I ve never even contemplated leaving my country to shape my future in the West, Hrant Dink once wrote in one of his columns. He was an Armenian journalist who dreamed of a democratic, free Turkey, in which all religious and ethnic minorities would enjoy equal rights, in which everyone would be allowed to express their opinions without fear. This dream cost him his life.
