Seven years have already passed since the hate murder against Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink, the highly esteemed former editor-in-chief of weekly Agos, as a new commemoration looms without light having been shed to the killing.

The Friends of Hrant Dink organization, established in memory of the late journalist, has called for a march Jan. 19 starting at 1:30 p.m. from Taksim Square and will end with homage to Dink in front of Agos newspaper’s building in Pangaltı.

..
Dink was murdered in broad daylight in front of his newspaper’s building on Jan. 19, 2007 by a 17-year-old Turkish nationalist. The triggerman Ogün Samast was convicted of premeditated murder and sentenced to 22 years and 10 months of prison after a two year-trial, but the trial pertaining to the plotters of the assassination has since become a byzantine lawsuit.
..
The march will one more year use the slogan “Buradayız Ahparig!” (We are here, brother[in Armenian]) to draw attention to the trial process.

It has been 7 years.. What happened 99 years ago is the same as what happened  7 years ago.
This is our state tradition.
