YEREVAN, JANUARY 19, ARMENPRESS. American-Armenian writer Chris Bohjalian expressed his support to the family members of Armenian journalist of Istanbul Hrant Dink over the 10th anniversary of his murder on January 19, reports “Armenpress”.

He quoted Dink’s words which say: “The prosecutions are not a surprise for me. They want to teach me a lesson because I am Armenian. They try to keep me quiet."

“Hrant Dink, assassinated in Istanbul ten years ago: January 19 2007. The sun is rising there now. I am thinking of my friends memorializing Dink today, including his remarkable and inspirational family. Stand tall -- and stay safe”, Bohjalian writes on Facebook.
