DINK: BBC WORLD NEWS COVERAGE OF ASSASSINATION OF HRANT DINK

[eylemturan]

@BozkurtTrabzonlu ım as a turk in shame...long live the brotherhood of the peoples..Ogun Samast s only a poor tong ..

[deeptuber109]

Don't swear each other here and at least show some respect to the memory of this great man..Hrant Dink. If he was alive now, he would be standing against all of you here swearing behind the keyboards.

There are other videos named genocide menocide, just go there and use your filty languages there.. not here. Be human here at least . It is not so difficult though.

[C0de46]

So Turks are 85% Armenian? Hmmmm...then wouldn't that make your so called Armenian genocide a civil war? It would mean that Muslim Armenians killed Christian Armenians...don't forget the role of our Kurdish brothers and sisters in this civil war...they caused you more direct harm than any other ethnic group ever did...but your fight is not with them is it? After all they have no land, no Government, and no way of you profiting from them...

[VANArmenya]

@C0de46 If the Turks were say 87% Armenian (instead of 85%) and then murdered the nation called "99% Armenia" -- then it would STILL be genocide. Stop tripping over yourself trying to deny that YOU ARE GUILTY of GENOCIDE. You enjoy the FRUITS of GENOCIDE. Who built HAGIA SOPHIA? AKHTAMAR?

Almost every KURD seems to apologize about the Armenian Genocide and they also say they were FOOLED by the TURKS to massacre Armenians.

You are unrepentant and GLUE yourself t0 yoUr MuRdErOuS foRefaTheRs.

[C0de46]

@VANArmenya I am not even going to question your assertion that today's Turks are 85% Armenian because after all you would know. You would have done all your research and if I were to ask for proof you would no doubt pour out all the genetic testing restuls and quote all haplotypes etc. I won't even ask what genes Armenians carry.  You guys have been untouched since the urartu days. No you have not mixed with anybody. You are as pure as the Greeks. They apparently are pure 100% unmixed too.

[C0de46]

@VANArmenya According to your genetic and scientific testing (!), 85% Armenians killing other Armenians is not genocide. Kurds can apologise all they like. They are civilians. They are not a government or a nation in the classical sence. You get individual Turks apologising and agreeing with you also, but they do not represent the majority Turkish stance. I read and view a lot of Armenian correspondence here. I can't help but think that Armenians are overwhelmingly racist.

[Gugo170]

this is a man who fought for free speech. He was even against the punishment of genocide deniers, however he fought furiously for the appropriate recognition of the Armenian GENOCIDE!

[D0CKTORDEATH]

[vassaggl]

turks will be turks ! fuck turks

[serhathoca]

No,............fuck you. You worthless armenian dog.

[vassaggl]

You are still a donkey like your ancestors , all your ancestors did was carry stones when the Armenian architects were executing their plans to built Istanbul for the sultans

[asala2116]

turkey needs waking up, needing to sort out its problems that it has comitted..why was this man shot for.?? what reasons.? is it fair that a man looses his life for free speech ..???

[kabuCee]

Its a free country. Everyone can kill anybody unless he get caught. I dont mean that I approve assasination of Mr. Dink, but shit happens around the world, its not specific to Turkey. You cannot stop people killing each other. Government has nothing to do with it.

[coolgastly]

FUCK HRANT DINK

[HaykakanBanak]

Fuck you

[paulkasabian]

donkey coolgasty mother fucker,god punish you before you born ,you be come turk you world greatest asshole mother fucker pust faceless,shameless,turk

[simoaras]

Fuck you barbar. Your greasy ass will burn in hell

[w0nderboy89]

i dont understand why would Turks get rid of them after 700 years? it doesnt make sense imperialst nations must have played major roles in this conflict of these nations ..said...same imperialist are play their part in todays world

[MANIAKER2]

kolla turken vad stolt han är , planerad aktion av Erdogan och och den turkiska regeringen. Turkiet spenderar 300 miljoner dollar varje år på att förneka folkmordsfrågan med att ge ut diverse dvd skivor

[Braveheart182007]

this iz a lesson to ppl who insult turkish...

[tmoda61]

This was not a lesson..this was a murder by someone who shot Dink in the back like a coward!Bakin, ben Turkum ve Turklerin soykirim yaptigina inanmiyorum.Ama sizin bu yazdiginiz dogru degil.Insan haklari, sadece Turkleri sevenlere,Turkleri pof pofliyanlara mi layik dir? Bir kimse bizden ayri bir dusunceye sahip se, onu oldurmek mi gerekir? Bu adam diasporadaki ermenileri 'sakin lestirmeye calisiyordu, onlari, Turklerlen bir araya getirip, tarihi tartisma yapmalarini istiyordu.

[Braveheart182007]

he was talking too much man... he should have respected Turkish blood... he's gone now. R.I.P.

[VANArmenya]

He respected all people. The assassin was told lies. Dink said hatred poisons your blood. he did not say Turkish blood is poison. Turks deserve no respect or 900 years of genocide and murder, abductions, arson, confiscation, forced conversions, sneaky, cunning ways and feigned friendship. Denier Turks should all commit suicide at once and leave this world. Turks are 85% Christian but 100% Muslim on paper.

[Braveheart182007]

[VANArmenya]

"So-called" and "alleged" TOORKS are 85% ARMENIAN. The UPSHOT SALJUQ google page (google UPSHOT and SALJUQ) shows us--> TURKS are 85% ARMENIAN. Armenians are the DADDY PEOPLE of the MONGOl-TURKS who came to live and borrow food from mother ARMENIAN peoples from VAN to ADANA from SASOUN to MARASH, from MUSH to ADANA, from KARS to DIKRANAGERD (Diyarbekir), from ERZURUM (GARINE) to KHARABAGH (ARTSAKH)

[Braveheart182007]

He didn't deserve to die but he denigrated Turkishness and he became target for nationalists of Turkey. He lived with the Turks but he didn't defeat his hatred against Turks.

[VANArmenya]

He never said he hated Turks. Does a JEW who REMEMBERS the HOLOCAUST get shot? The TURKS are un-advanced and in DEEP denial of their HISTORY. They SHOOT and cause another innocent man to die--5 million and 1 Armenians kille dor deported by TURKS. (Armenians, Greeks, Assyrians/Chaldeans---5 million 1893---> Turkey 99.98% MUSLIM TODAY! NICE JOB MUSLIM TURKS (who are 85% Armenian and Christian GENES)

[acaratuva]

I agree with you! He deserved it, he was obviously acted for it!

[luv4knowledge]

this is "touching" but it doesn't solve the issue; the issue is turkish nationalism never had a good name b/c the price for it is death of "non-turks"....Hrant Dink spoke on what he did not b/c he thinks we need to cloak all people under the umbrella term "turk" b/c that will erase cultural identity....when we can have different ethnic writings on store shops (E.G.), and people can write "anatolian citizen" rather than "turkish citizen" then we have a melting pot that will be democratic.

[CaucasusAra]

so the genocidal acts continues it runs in their bloods it doesnt matter what era of time we live, in the only good in these turkish people are the greek and armenian genetics, their mongolian for fathers raped!

[fazlaicerim]

Turks: It was genocide, plain and simple. Ataturk founded a great republic, so why so heatedly bother yourselves with what the dying empire did to one of its millets?

Armenians: Have you read Dink's work? The diaspora's vilification of Turks is precisely the racist stuff that Dink criticized yall for so cheaply engaging in. Read _Agos_'s mission statement, for crying out loud!

[liefinder]

What's the population of muslims in Armenia,Greece??Is there any turkish left today?? why ?? see?? get it ....Why turkish citizen Armenian Bolcayan in prison in Armenia??He's historian armenian,in prison in Armenia....

[luv4knowledge]

liefinder, historically anatolia was a christian land, and even if you're atheist you should admire and respect churches for the architectural achievements that they are...the problem is the turkish govt has done all it can to erase the older civilizations that came before it, such as continuing to destroy churches in eastern turkey, while saudi arabia is funding the building of mosques in turkey...Armenia, small country that it is, recently opened up 2 mosques, what more do you want?

[liefinder]

Who told you that Anotolia is a christian country??Christianity came to anotolia 400 A.D.(600 years dominant)Moslim Turks came to anotolia and ruled since 1071(900 years!)You christian western pigs you have a dream to kill or kick all turks back to central asia.Crusaders scum pigs tried those what in your deep heart for many times.Seljuks Turks made anatolia grave yard for crusader scum bags, Ottoman's Turks made Balkans and central Europa grave yard for holy shit's pope's crusaders army....

[luv4knowledge]

ahahahahaha, liefinder that's some classic BS, thanks i needed a laugh.

[liefinder]

Rasizm came to Ottoman's Turks from western europa.Turks've always been fair to the other nations,religions.If they were'not fair today there should'nt be any other people than moslims in central europa, balkans,criemea.Hundreds of churches still exist in Turkey.(I personaly do not know why we,Turks still keeping them exist??)

you are all ermenians are murderer .

truth is here.

watch `hocali katliami`in YOU TUBE first.

ı am disgusting from all of you when ı watched it.

[VANArmenya]

An INVERSION of the truth. TURKEY's archives are NOT open. They show GENOCIDE *Taner Akcam proved it before he was kiched out). Also, what would the archives of Armenians hold? If Armenian planned an all out attack on the Turks, they sure made a mistake when they send their men into the Ottoman Turkish army and saw them sent to the front lines and saw their woman and kids killed COWARDLY STYLE by BRAVE OTTOMAN Turks

[balabansertac]

armenian diaspora has killed hrant dink.. hrant dink was supporting peace..he said forget history and look future..but fanatic armenian diaspora can not forget something in history..and they believe in some lies...hrant dink is a turkish citizen.. he is patriot.. he loved his motherland turkey

[spiros1874]

Turkish shitty people do have imagination.Dont they?

[VANArmenya]

Yes. Did you hear the latest news. Turks discovered all those Armenians, greeks and Assyrians killed - it was all a big lie. In fact. The Christians killed MILLIONS of Turks. Yes. That is why Turkey is 99.98% Muslim. See? Get it? Understand now? THANKS TURKEY!

[cruelboyus]

im sure after 20-30 year turks will be like who is Hrant Dink never heard of him .there was no Hrant Dink ,if he was then he was killing children . this is how turks are. lieing fuckers .fuckin animals .

[turkturk1453]

i am sorry for hrant dink... ARMENIANS  STOP LIE TELL TRUTH, PEACE WİLL COME

ARMENIANS GENOCIDE LIE!!! armenians say 1 million armenians killed but there is a problem russian secret service documents say 4000 armenian living in this date

FROM_TURKEY

[balabansertac]

hrant dink is murdered by armenian diaspora by CİA help..100.000 turkish people said we are all armenian.. could any armenian say we are all turkish? asala terrorist killed a lot of turkish victim people .. which armenian protest it ? what does humanity mean for armanians ?when armenians do genocide against turkish people thats humanity.. when turkish people protect theirself thats barbarians...you armenians.. look ur language .. there are 3000 turkish words in armenian language

[handsomeboyad]

Like Dink, please, asGokmen Akman and Hasan Ezer want to, "finish" the Armenian Patriarch in Istanbul. Please start deporting all the "illegal" Armenians. There are 80k, even the ones that are half, the gavours! They are taking jobs from honest, noble turks! The Hameshiems, the Laz, the christian Turks! Get ride of them! Show the world the true Turkey. PLEASE!

[TheTURK2000]

Having enemy creates national spirit . Armanian and greeks lived 500 years under Turkish Management . And they still speaking their own language and still have different relation then Turks . Turks was so fair to them . But now They are trying to hurt their old landlord.

[spiros1874]

Hey lanlord why dont you go and clean a toilet for 5 euro in your shitty country and leave us alone

[halolala]

[muzaffer0618]

i am aganist the assassination. i am not supporting the terror. but when the ASALA was attacking to the Turkish diplomats, no armenian was shouying as " we all Turkish". no one was walking in the streets but they were supporting the Asala terrorists. we must think about this also...

[FORZALOTD]

Than I can call it to any nation for any action: Great Britania for Ireland and also other colonies, for France (colonies), for Germany (jews), for Spain (South America), for Greece(all of those wars between Turkey and Greece), USA... not every nation has a pure history. We must judge things in a fair way.

[FORZALOTD]

I'm Turkish. Me, my family and my friends gathered in Taksim to protest. Thousends of Turks walked together with thousends of Armenians through Istanbul. We should not call a nation "barbars" because of one action.

[Artomania]

I am Armenian. I am happy that the Armenian Genocide took place. You see, my grandfather and grandmother lost their original families in the Genocide. They got married after the genocide to each other and they created my father. So you see, if it wasn't for the Genocide I would not be writing to you today. Thank you Turks.

[Andranick]

Artomania, you sound pathetic. Ive read other posts from you and this one is just total crap.How can u be happy that the genocide took place you dim witted moron.

[Artomania]

Jonathan Swift, the famous English writer who wrote Gulliver's Travels said: "Irony is wasted on the stupid."

He was talking about you.

[VANArmenya]

And me. I did not understand it at first, too. Your point is, your family--LIKE MINE--were formed DUE TO the horrors of GENOCIDE< theft, confiscation, rape, murder, being orphaned, beheadings, shootings, arson, pillage, GENOCIDE GENOCIDE GENOCIDE> Turkey is so evil and beyond repair ... ANYWAYS--be nice and say "I WAS BEING FUNNY--it was a joke -- look up IRONY my friend /unger /adank

[Samvel1221]

Let's not jump from one topic to another by accusing any government of any conspiracy, lets see the real evidence. Turkey is trying to be a part of a EU, a sociaty who is democratic and free of speach, unless the penal code 301 is ebolished then the government is indirectly involved in Hrant Dinks assasination. Keeping the people of turkey un-educated about the facts thus creates the unfortunate results, a 17 year old assasin.

[taxsi]

there are 40000 Armenians left in the country which has 70 million population. so thousands of people gathered in the murder scene a few hours after the death of dink, protesting the killing and shouting "we are all armenian" were overwhelmingly turkish. so please be less prejudiced against the people of turkey and the reality.

[norkzakarian]

Do you ever hear of any problems between Germans and Jews today? In fact, they are in very good terms, because Germany has accepted and apologized for its history and there has been major restitutions done to the Jews to this day. Anyways I have no problem to go to Turkey one day, but I can't travel this March I am busy with college. Thanks anyways, for the civilized discussion, there are very Turks who seems to be doing so on Youtube.

Hrant.. Always in our hearth

From Turkey..

[sympaticoTR]

I'm a Turkish. So I am unhappy for Hrant Dink. We must live with peace all around the world. Nobody can't say that: Turkish did genocide. We have lots of decumenteries and photos. Nobody say that!

[carismAslan]

Hrant Dink 'i unutmuyacagiz ve saygiyla anacagiz. Türkiye'nin özgürlüklerine engel olmak isteyenler bu ülkedeki Mustafa kemal gençligince elbet saf disi birakilacaklardir.

Ne kadar üzücüdür ki merhum Hirant Dink Atatürk'ün ülkesinde öldürülen 60. gazetecidir. YASTAYIZ...

[OceanDreamForMe]

Ross Vartian, executive director of USAPAC, said, "Turkish government

denial of the Armenian Genocide and prosecution of those who dare

speak the truth breeds an environment of extreme intolerance. The

government is ultimately responsible for this murder--this literal

killing of truth."

[armenian329]

kill4you1453 the only dog here is you mothafuka.... the truth hurts, doesnt it you? so you go kill an innocent man.... you turks are a cancer to humanity so its best you shut your fucking face

[labarna]

what do you know about the truth? before the killing all of you hate hrant dink. what happened now? don't slander all of our country. 99% percent of Turks are sad for the murdering. just think about the asala and don't forget we have loved hrant more than your love

[ruknani]

He was a true patriot,a Turkey lover.You can not be hurted as us.You can say anything about so-called genocide,but stop making your disgusting propaganda by his death body...nauseating.

[goldmarker]

Fuck you

[norkzakarian]

i think his appearance in the recent documentary about the Armenian Genocide, "Screamers" IS one of the reasons why he was murdered recently..

i think that the Turkish government is behind this crime and its not just an independant young nationalist Turk... this is a part of Turkey's ongoing denial campaign to eliminate and prosecute outspoken intellectuals, as Hrant Dink was taken was convicted on a number of occasions for writing about the Armenian Genocide in his newspapers..

[jdturk78]

Hi Norzakarian, how can be the Turkish government be behind it? They are trying to be a part of EU and stop the recognition of the genocide? Dink's death is the best thing happened for the enemies of Turkey. Either they did it or the moron nationalists like kill4you1453.

[norkzakarian]

jdturk78: the Turkish government is involved in this scandal not only directly, but also indirectly. You have to understand that such an act is the indirect result of being intensely and vehemently manipulated, which your government has succeeded in doing in its genocide denial campaign. This, in turn has created the image of Armenians as the 'villains' who want to see the downfall of Turkey by "accusing Turkey" of Genocide. And so why not kill this man who is "accusing" my ancestors?

[norkzakarian]

Moreover, I doubt that the 17 yr old kid was mature enough to develop these motivations by himself through reading Dink's articles and understanding the nature of his political ideas. And if you think about it, no matter how much trouble it brought to Turkey, the government is relieved to have eliminated an activist who was continuously struggling for Turkey's recognition of the Armenian Genocide. So why not be a government-plotted mission?

[jdturk78]

You wrote:"in turn has created the image of Armenians as the 'villains' who want to see the downfall of Turkey by "accusing Turkey" of Genocide." Who see Armenians as villains in the world except some turkish nationalists? Please tell me,

Americans? French? Greeks? Russians?

About eliminating an activist, there are 50,000 Armenians living in Turkey. They won't let Hrant's flag down, neither their turkish friends.

[norkzakarian]

You are not getting my point. Only the TURKISH people are perceiving Armenians that way, as a result of your government's coverup. And about the other Armenians in Turkey, Hrant was the most prominent intellectual and was a well known figure in the Diaspora for his outspokenness inside Turkey.

[jdturk78]

Havent you read armenian329's comments? Is he a part of the government cover up? He hates Turks and Turkey with his whole heart. I think every member of Hay Heghapokhakan Dashnaktsutiun hates Turkey too and they want the downfall of Turkey and establish the greater Armenia. However, how can I hate Armenians, when one of my good friends is Armenian? I will go to Turkey  this March, lets meet in Istanbul. We will visit the Armenian cemetery and pray together. What do you say?

[norkzakarian]

I am talking about the Turkish coverup and re-writing of history inside Turkey. Surely the Armenians abroad will hate Turkey and why shouldn't that be the case, if our ancestors have been massacred by Turks, and Turkey still fails to recognize that. As if not enough the first part of the injustice, there is still more injustice in the denial.

[norkzakarian]

Do you ever hear of any problems between Germans and Jews today? In fact, they are in very good terms, because Germany has accepted and apologized for its history and there has been major restitutions done to the Jews to this day. Anyways I have no problem to go to Turkey one day, but I can't travel this March I am busy with college.
