Turkey after the death of the editor-in-chief of “Agos” Hrant Drink,

first intellectual killed in Turkey, but one of many. The death of
Hrant Dink showed Turkish people that we could embrace each other and
share the pain over a loss of a beloved person in the country”.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
