Remembering Hrant Dink

  • Armenian House 25 Cheniston Gardens London, England, W8 (map)

Come join us as we gather together every year to commemorate the epoch-making peacemaker Hrant Dink. The Armenian Turkish editor of the weekly AGOS and human rights champion stirred the conscience of Turkish people so profoundly in his writing and TV appearances that he was murdered in broad daylight outside his office by a 17-year-old nationalist on January 19, 2007. The court case has not seen justice done on the hidden perpetrators yet Dink continues to be the recipient of major peace prizes and honours even after his death. The Hrant Dink Foundation continues to educate and inspire cultural relations among Armenians and Turks on equal rights for all, democratization of the country, and fostering dialogue towards empathy and understanding of diversity in different peoples.

On Thursday, 23rd January 2025, we will gather informally at the Armenian House to remember Hrant Dink, share testimonies and photographs, and listen to the beautiful performances of Armenian singers.
