RSC STATEMENT COMMEMORATING NINTH ANNIVERSARY OF MURDER OF HRANT DINK

Hrant Dink

MORE THAN A MAN…..THE NINTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE MURDER OF HRANT DINK

Hrant Dink
1954-2007 

In Memoriam,
The ninth anniversary of his murder 

It is always difficult to eulogize the dead, but it is especially painful to commemorate the loss of the brave and the innocent.  Far too often we only truly appreciate the basic treasures of life when it is too late.  We long for loved ones, whether friends or family, only after they have passed.  We tend to take for granted their value and their company.  That is only human, but so too is the tragedy of loss.
