Condolences

I would like to offer my most sincere condolences to the family of Hrant Dink and to the people of Turkey after the tragic murder of Hrant Dink (Turkish-Armenian writer). Hrant Dink was shot dead in Istanbul yesterday and had previously been under threat, as well as charged for "insulting Turkishness" in the course of publication of bilingual Agos. The murder has been widely condemned and commented both nationally and internationally (the links contain some examples of reactions).

Do not let the perpetrators of this crime set the agenda!
