Those that gathered at the ruined Surp Harutyun (Holy Resurrection) Armenian church, which is located in Ergeni village of Hozat region of Turkey’s Tunceli (Dersim) Province, commemorated the seventh-year anniversary of the murder of Hrant Dink. 

The mayor of Hozat, members of the pro-Kurdish “Peace and Democracy Party” (BDP), and the local residents gathered at the church on Sunday and conducted a remembrance ceremony for Dink, reports Agos Armenian weekly of Istanbul.   

The participants lit candles before Dink’s photograph and, subsequently, one of them made a statement and held a sign that read, “For Hrant, for justice.”  

Hrant Dink, the founder and former chief editor of Agos, was killed on January 19, 2007 in front of the weekly’s office. The ongoing trials into Dink’s murder, however, have not yet exposed those behind this assassination.
