Emin Alper: "Hrant Dink was one of those incorrigible ringleaders in history. They could not bear him; because he was a voice that could speak honestly without being provocative, censured without being hostile, able to be uncompromising without being belligerent, brave because he knew no existence other than being brave, shaking without shouting, and making every heart tremble when he reached. He was a socialist who fought not only on behalf of the Armenians but also on behalf of all the oppressed and silenced. He was descended from the Kirkor Zohrabs. It was impossible for them to tolerate this sound. And those who committed crimes on behalf of the sensitivities of the majority collectively murdered him here 16 years ago. That's how the story of humanity began and that's how it went, but it never has to end like that. We can and must change this story."
