Dink's son threatened with jail for reproducing interview
ISTANBUL (AFP) - Prosecutors on Thursday called for a prison sentence of up
to three years for the son of a murdered Turkish-Armenian journalist for
reproducing an interview his father gave confirming the Armenian genocide.
The public affairs ministry accuses Arat Dink, editor of the bilingual
Turkish-Armenian weekly Agos, and his colleague Serikis Seropyan, of
"denigrating the Turkish national identity." In a July 2006 edition of Agos,
they reproduced an interview Hrant Dink gave to a news agency in which he
declared that the massacre of Armenians committed in 1915-1917 in
southeastern Anatolia constituted a genocide.
