Description: (Turkish-Armenian Intellectual, Editor-In-Chief of 'Agos')
Hrant Dink was a Turkish-Armenian intellectual, journalist, and columnist known for his role as editor-in-chief of the bilingual Turkish-Armenian newspaper Agos. He was a prominent advocate for Turkish-Armenian reconciliation and human rights in Turkey, despite facing prosecution for denigrating Turkishness. Dink was critical of both Turkey's denial of the Armenian genocide and the Armenian diaspora's international recognition campaign. His assassination in 2007 sparked widespread outrage and protests, leading to increased scrutiny of Turkey's laws, such as Article 301.
