Dink, editor in chief of bilingual Agos Newspaper was killed by Ogun Samast, a 17 year old boy. Police arrested Samast just 1 week after the assassinaton but unfortunately couldn’t enlighten the darkness felt on Turkey. According to interrogation Hrant Dink was threatened many times and he had complained police about threating e-mail and telephone calls. It is claimed also Turkish police, intelligence services and military intelligence services was aware of assassination before complaints of Dink but had watched this murderer like a movie. Although Dink has mentioned these threats in his column at Agos Newspaper. He wrote, lots of people had called and asked him to leave Turkey unless he would be killed. Lots of times he defied threats and said he wouldn’t leave and punish his enemies while being buried in his country- Turkey. Once Dink likened himself to a pigeon….the symbol of peace killed while trying reach his burrow.

As a courageous journalist one more time Dink uncovered a news, and showed Turkey’s secret real traitors with his death. Thousands of Turkish people commemorated Dink and proved they will never leave Turkey to reign of secret traitors.
