ANKARA - German Ambassador to Ankara Eckart Cuntz strongly condemned the assassination on Friday of Hrant Dink, editor-in-chief of bilingual Turkish-Armenian weekly Agos.

He expressed his hope that Turkish officials would soon capture the murderer.
On the other hand, releasing a statement, Committee of Defense of Armenian Cause (CDCA) in France also condemned the attack.
Dink was shot in front of his office building in Halaskargazi street in Sisli district of Istanbul, and died instantly at the scene. Police detained two people over the assassination.
