ISTANBUL/ANKARA - A group of people who held a sit-in protest to condemn assassination of Hrant Dink, editor-in-chief of bilingual Turkish-Armenian weekly Agos, in Taksim district marched towards Sisli district in Istanbul.
Protestors chanted slogans and carried banners reading "All We Are Hrant Dink" and "We Condemn Those Who Murdered Hrant Dink".
On the other hand, nearly 700 people from several nongovernmental organizations held a demonstration to protest killing of Dink in Kizilay Square in Ankara.
Ismail Hakki Tombul, chairman of the Confederation of Public Sector Labor Unions (KESK), said that Dink was murdered in a disgraceful attack, noting that the bullet fired at Dink was also fired at those who wanted to live free in Turkey.
Meanwhile, a group of people gathered in front of Human Rights Monument in Yuksel Street in Ankara and chanted slogans denouncing assassination of Dink.
