French President Conveyed Condolences to Dink's Widow
French President Jacques Chirac conveyed condolences to Hrant Dink's widow. "I can't find the words to condemn this horrifying crime that deprived Turkey of one of the bravest and freedom-loving voices. In his Agos newspaper and in all his statements Dink urged to struggle for the historical memory and the Armenian-Turkish reconciliation," the French President's letter says. A number of French top officials, including Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy, also expressed condolences to Hrant Dink's widow, reports RFE/RL.
