Over 100,000 people attended the funeral of
Armenian-Turkish journalist
Hrant Dink. Dink, noted for his opinions on Turkish-Armenian reconciliation, had been prosecuted three times for
denigrating Turkishness, receiving multiple death threats which culminated in his
assassination on January 19, 2007. During the march, funeral attendees carried placards reading "We are all Hrant Dink" and "We are all Armenians" in
Turkish,
Armenian and
Kurdish. The building on the right with the black banner is the office of
Agos, where Dink was killed.
