Hole in his shoe...

I can't tell you how much this has saddened the şişli community. For days now, people have gathered around the make-shift shrine where Hrant Dink was killed. People are sad even before they get there of course. But what seems to overwhelm the people with grief is the picture of him lying there with only his shoes visible. And he has a hole in the sole of his shoe. Somehow, this image brings home even more the tragedy of this humble man's death.

şişli is a district in istanbul where hirant lived. I want to point out something, not only şişli community have saddened, all turkish ppl have saddened after this bad murder. all of turkish are aware of something that someones want to damage peace in this land. Hirant was a turkish citizen and he just wanted to protect armenian's rights, he wasnt against turkey.

şişli is the area of istanbul where he was killed. Where he was killed was maybe 3 km north of taksim square in the main metro line.

I am sure you are right, but I live in şişli (Fulya) so I am only speaking about my area. This is also the area of istanbul that most minorities (Armenians and Jews) live.
