Armenia to Hold Parallel Gathering to Remember Hrant Dink

On Tuesday, January 23, at 1 pm Yerevan time, a public rally will be held in Freedom Square to bid good-bye to Turkish-born Armenian Newspaper Editor Hrant Dink. The rally, scheduled to coincide with the funeral procession to take place in Istanbul, will offer those in Armenia an opportunity to publicly pay homage to their compatriot who was slain on Friday, January 19.

The organizers are calling on all those in the capital to join them to announce to the world that Armenians share Dink's dream of dialogue and peace among peoples.

The site of the mass rally – Freedom Square – is appropriate, given Dink's commitment to that basic human right.
