Pro-Kurdish Party Leader: We Feel Embarrassed before Hrant Dink

Kurdish Institute of Brussels

The pro-kurdish ''People's Democratic Party'' leader Selahettin Demirtas on the occasion of the 10th year of Hrant Dink's death sent a letter from prison, Istanbul-based Armenian weekly newspaper AGOS​ reports.

The letter reads;

''It is been 10 years since we lost Hrant Dink. Unfortunately, we failed to turn our country into a livable and free country in ten years. That is why we feel embarrassed before Hrant. However, we haven't knelt down either.

Though the murderers and the figures supporting them are protected as yet, we know the murderer of Hrant, just like we know the perpetrators of Suruç, Ankara and Roboski... Dear Rakel said, “the mentality that turns children into murderers''; we are combating that mentality and you should know that we will continue to do so forever. I am sorry for I am not able to attend the commemoration events this year, because I am in prison. However, I am sticking by the struggle for justice for Hrant, though I am here. This murder also targeted peoples' coexistence. In the person of Hrant Dink, they targeted us all. And we, in the person of Hrant Dink, will continue to seek for justice for everyone and we will achieve it.

Ahparig! We miss you but we walk tall; just like the way you would like to see us''.
