ANKARA - Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Friday the murder of Hrant Dink , the editor-in- chief of Agos weekly of Armenian descent, was an attack on the country's unity, peace and stability.
Erdogan told a news conference that everthing would be done to find the perpetrators, as soon as possible.
"It is very meaningful that the murderers have chosen Dink as their victim this time. We find it very meaningful that this murder has been committed at a time when Armenian claims of genocide were brought to spotlight especially in some countries," Erdogan said.
He noted that he assigned Abdulkadir Aksu, Interior Minister and Cemil Cicek, Minister of Justice, to find the perpetrators of the attack as soon as possible and brought them to justice. The two ministers flew to Istanbul immediately.
