Ayse Kadioglu on Hrant Dink
Ayse Kadioglu has written an article in Merip about the slained Armenian-Turkish writer/journalist Hrant Dink. He was killed in Istanbul on the 19 of January 2007.
I like the end:
¨Hrant Dink lived his life like a pigeon on a bridge connecting the feelings and thoughts of Armenians in Turkey with those outside, as well as with Turks. He was a pigeon on a mission to make such bridges more than symbolic. He was shot by trench diggers, who remain powerful opponents of his mission. On the day of his funeral, however, Hrant Dink’s bridge was flooded by thousands who wanted to guard it in his name. He would have loved the sight.¨
