Hrant Dink's Killing Shocked Turks
Nothing worse than Hrant Dink's killing could happen in Turkey on the threshold of elections, Erkut Emcioğlu, International Relations Coordinator of ARI Movement told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. Hrant Dink was a symbol of peace and friendship. The Turkish people are shocked and the internal situation in the country is under threat. He was an outstanding journalist and bright individuality, Emcioğlu said. Dink's killing undermines democratic principles in Turkey and jeopardizes Turkey's accession to the EU, since he was once sentenced under Article 301 the cancellation of which is demanded by the European Union.
