Hrant Dink is the latest victim of the Armenian Genocide, Harut Sassounian, editor of The California Courrier told the PanARMENIAN.Net journalist. In his words, the Turkish government has a large share of responsibility in this cold-blooded assassination. "Turkey creates an atmosphere of intolerance, passes laws against speaking about the Armenian Genocide and encourages its denial. Those who pulled the trigger on Hrant Dink were indirectly encouraged to do so by the intolerant Turkish regime. Hrant was my friend, my journalistic colleague and a fellow activist for 'Hay Dat'. May God bless his soul," Sassounian said.
