Rakel Dink, widow of Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink, will participate in Sydney-hosted event commemorating the 10th anniversary of assassination of her husband. 

The event that will take place on March 19 is organized by the Armenian Missionary Association of Australia (AMAA) and the Armenian National Committee of Australia (ANC-AU). 

ANC-AU Managing Director, Vache Kahramanian said: “We all remember when the funeral of Hrant Dink saw many tens of thousands of Turkish people march in Istanbul, chanting 'We are all Hrant! We are all Armenian!'. This heralded hope in a country that has trouble dealing with its Armenian past, and proved that Hrant did not die in vain. ”

Kahramanian added: “Armenian-Australians will have the opportunity to share an audience in Sydney with Mrs. Rakel Dink, as we honour her husband's life. We as Armenians are very lucky to have the likes of Mrs Rakel Dink, Garo Paylan and others continuing the foundations set by Hrant Dink. ”
