In Turkey, one of the country’s most prominent Turkish-Armenian newspaper editors, Hrant Dink, has been murdered. He was shot outside his office on Friday. He had recently received death threats by Turkish nationalists for his writings about the Armenian genocide of 1915. Seven suspects have been arrested, including a 17-year-old who has reportedly confessed. Police officials have said a well-known nationalist militant has admitted he provided a gun and money to the teenager.
