Remembering Hrant Dink
Armenian Institute
1 Onslow Street London EC1N 8AS
Come join us as we gather to commemorate the epoch-making journalist and 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 Foundationthe continues to educate and inspire Armenians and Turks on equal rights for all and the democratization of the country. It fosters dialogue towards empathy and understanding of diversity in different peoples.
This year, we invite you to a screening of "Hrant Dink: Heart of Two Nations", a moving 40-minute documentary film directed by Nouritza Matossian, from their private conversations. It is the only film showing Hrant Dink speaking in Armenian about his life and struggle for justice and human rights, made in 2008, after his death. The free screening will take place at the Armenian Institute and online and will be followed by an open discussion with the director, Nouritza Matossian. We hope you will join us to keep his memory alive and celebrate his achievements together.
