ORGANIZATION IN MEMORY OF HRANT DINK FORMED IN TURKEY
- Artists, intellectuals will be lending their voices to articles written by Hrant Dink, murdered journalist, publisher and founding editor of the bilingual Armenian-Turkish weekly Agos, to commemorate the first anniversary of his assassination. As reported by the Turkish Daily News, on Saturday, January 5, 2008 Armenian, Alevi, Kurdish and Turkish young people in Turkey have formed a group called Hadig to commemorate Hrant Dink on the first anniversary of his assassination. The word Hadig literally means ‘grain’ in the Armenian language. The 14-member group composed of university students gathering through a civilian initiative formed the Tilili Project that took its name from a sentence in Dink’s article titled “Armenian Identity”. A total of 19 articles written by Dink between 1996 and 2007 for bilingual Armenian-Turkish weekly Agos were chosen to give voice to the framework of the Tilili Project. The number 19 symbolizes the date Jan. 19, the day Dink was murdered in front of Agos building. Dink’s articles were read aloud by some of Turkey’s respected artists. Again symbolizing the date Dink was assassinated, 19 artists and intellectuals are participating in the project, where the biggest surprise is the recorded voice of Dink himself while reading his article titled "Water finds its crack". Hadig members Sibil Cekmen and Yeliz Kyzylarslan said the Turkish media influenced Dink’s assassination by focusing only on his articles that focus on the Turkish-Armenian issue. For this reason, they say, the group will present 19 different articles by Dink, each reflecting his different opinions on various issues.
