Armenia sends deputy FM to funeral of ethnic Armenian journalist in Turkey YEREVAN, Armenia: Armenia will send a deputy foreign minister to the funeral of an ethnic Armenian journalist who was murdered last week in Turkey, officials said Monday. Arman Kirakosian will attend Tuesday's funeral as part of an official delegation that includes a permanent Armenian representative to a regional Black Sea cooperation body based in Turkey, the Foreign Ministry said. The Armenian Orthodox Church also said it will send a representative to the funeral, U.S-based Bishop Khazkah Parsamian. Hrant Dink, the 52-year-old editor of the Turkish-Armenian newspaper Agos, was gunned down outside his newspaper's office in Istanbul on Friday. The killing, blamed on nationalists, drew attention to the precarious state of freedom of expression in a country vying for European Union membership. Turkey has no diplomatic ties with Armenia but still invited Armenian officials and religious leaders as well as moderate members of the diaspora to the funeral on Tuesday. Turkey's relationship with its Armenian minority has long been haunted by a bloody past. Much of its once-influential Armenian population was killed or driven out beginning around 1915 in what an increasing number of nations are calling the first genocide of the 20th century. +++ -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
