Hrant Dink archive to be built in Congress library
A Hrant Dink archive is supposed to be built in the National Library of the Congress, says the Armenian Reporter. According to Levon Avdoyan, Ph.D., Armenian and Georgian Area Specialist of the Near East Section, the archive will be meant for future scholars, to leave them the primary tools they will need to analyze important events of our days. "I firmly believe that the assassination of Hrant Dink is one of these events, and I would like to create an archive of hard copy materials - newspapers, broadsides, official pronouncements - that we will keep at the Library of Congress as a collection. I would also like to stress that I am interested in everything related to the Dink assassination: from the texts of speeches, to memorial booklets from churches and elsewhere, to photographs, etc," he said.
