ISTANBUL - "The murder of Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaha is a serious blow to international freedom of expression," said the Executive Board of the Turkish Journalists Society (TGC) on Tuesday.
The TGC statement read, "the brutal murder of Politkovskaya, who was an opponent of Moscow's Chechen policies, reminded us of slain Turkish journalists and caused deep sadness. We share the pain of Russian journalists and hope that the killer or killers will be arrested soon and brought to justice."
