Istanbul Embraced With Mass Protests
Istanbul is embraced with mass protests. Crowds of people go to streets learning about famous journalist Hrant Dink's assassination, Pravda.ru reports. The funeral service for Hrant Dink in the center of Istanbul first will turn into mass demonstration and then into march protests. The demonstrations created serious problems for traffic.

The killed editor-in-chief of 'Agos' weekly became famous for his discussions over the Armenian Genocide from 1915 till 1917 of the 20th century. At those times Turkey massacred over 1.5 million Armenians. In his articles Dink touched upon the Armenian Genocide topic so morbid for Turkey, which does not recognize it. For his articles Dink several times was put under trial.
