YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 16, ARMENPRESS: The International Hrant Dink Award Ceremony was presented for the sixth time on Hrant Dink’s birthday, September 15. This year the awards were handed to activist Angie Zelter from Britain and Şebnem Korur Fincancı from Turkey, Armenpress reports citing “Agos” newspaper.

Every year, the award is presented to two people, groups or institutions from inside and outside Turkey, who work for a world free of discrimination, racism, and violence, take personal risks for their ideals, use the language of peace, and by doing so, inspire and encourage others.

With this award, the Foundation aims to remind to all those who struggle for these ideals that their voices are heard, their work is visible and that they are not alone, and also to encourage everyone to fight for their ideals.
