Description of the content
In January 2007, the Armenian journalist Hrant Dink was murdered in broad daylight in Istanbul. The editor-in-chief of the Armenian weekly newspaper AGOS had spent his whole life advocating minority rights, particularly the rights of Armenians and Kurds. In so doing he broached one of the Turkish Republic’s biggest taboo subjects. Osman Okkan and Simone Sitte’s haunting documentary sheds light on the events leading up to the murder, the difficult relationship between Armenians and Turks, and the ongoing trial that is throwing light on the murderous activities of Turkey’s “deep state”.
