Western Diocese to Hold a Special Vigil for Hrant Dink
Tonight, Jan. 19, at 8pm
It is with great sorrow that we received the tragic news of the
assassination of Hrant Dink, the prominent intellectual and editor in
chief of the Agos newspaper in Istanbul, Turkey. Hrant Dink joins the
group of martyrs who have sacrificed their lives for the international
recognition of the Armenian Genocide. His dedication and courage has
earned the admiration of not only his readers in Turkey, but the
entire Armenian Diaspora.
The Western Diocese of the Armenian Church will hold a special vigil
tonight at 8:00pm at the Diocesan Headquarters, in Burbank, and would
like to invite the faithful to join us in this solemn occasion. A
short video will be shown of Mr. Dink’s recent visit to the Diocese on
November 5th, 2006.
Our prayers go out to his friends and relatives who are grieving at
this time, as well as to the entire Armenian Community inside Turkey
and throughout the world.
God bless his soul. Asdvadz Hokin Loosavore.
