Hrant Dink funeral
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.Photo credit: Kerem Özcan/Diliff
