Istanbul Armenian MP and vice-chairman of the opposition pro-Kurdish People’s Democratic Party (HDP), Garo Paylan, has posted a photo on his Facebook page.

“We are not giving up, Ahparig [“brother,” in Armenian]!” Paylan wrote below this photo.

It seems he is in attendance to Saturday’s traditional commemoration event devoted to slain Istanbul Armenian journalist Hrant Dink.

Hrant Dink, the founder and chief editor of Agos Armenian weekly of Istanbul, was gunned down on January 19, 2007 outside the then office of Agos.

In 2011, the perpetrator, Ogün Samast, was sentenced by a juvenile court to 22 years and ten months for the murder.

After long court proceedings and appeals, however, a new probe was ultimately launched into this murder case, and regarding numerous former and serving senior Turkish officials’ complicity in this assassination.
