Back Commissioner sends his condolences to Turkish newspaper Agos

[22/01/07 15:30] In a letter to the bilingual Turkish-Armenian newspaper Agos, whose editor Hrant Dink was killed last Friday, Commissioner Thomas Hammarberg expressed his deep condolences.

"Mr Dink has been an outstanding individual and an inspiring intellectual whose work I have followed with admiration from afar. His tragic and senseless death is mourned all over Europe. Those responsible for this savage murder must be held accountable - not only the individual killer but also those behind who created the atmosphere that triggered this crime," the letter says among others.
