This is the biography of Hrant Dink, a Turkish-Armenian journalist
and political activist. He worked for the democratic rights of all
Turkish citizens, including the right to speak freely about the
genocide of Anatolia's Armenians in 1915. As a result of his
activism, Dink was assassinated by Turkish nationalists in 2007. As
founder and editor-in-chief of the bilingual Turkish-Armenian
newspaper, Agos, in 1996, Dink was the first secular voice of
Turkey's silenced Christian-Armenian minority. He fought for the
democratization of the Turkish political system. This was a risky
undertaking, in a country where Armenians live as closed
communities; it was also unprecedented in Turkey. Dink was
prosecuted three times for "insulting and denigrating Turkishness"
and ultimately convicted. The biography is written as an oral
history, and assembles a mosaic of memories as told by Dink's
family, friends, and comrades. Dink's own "voice," in the form of
his writings, is also included. Originally published in Turkey, it
is now available for an English-speaking audience on the 100th
anniversary of the Armenian genocide.
