Hundreds of people commemorated Monday slain Turkish-Armenian
journalist, Hrant Dink, in Istanbul on the second anniversary of
his murder.

Hundreds of people gathered in front of the weekly multilingual
newspaper Agos in the central Sisli district, where Dink was killed.

Dink, editor in chief of Agos newspaper, was shot dead outside the
offices of the paper in Istanbul in January 2007.

Hundreds of people, including relatives and colleagues, held a
graveside remembrance ceremony on Sunday in Istanbul.

White pigeons were released in a commemoration attended by a group
of around 100 people in the central Anatolian province of Eskisehir
on Saturday.
