Following our public announcement about the racist and discriminatory threats that had been sent to our foundation, we have received messages of solidarity from many individuals and organizations in Turkey and from abroad. We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to everyone who did condemn this discriminatory attitude, who did not leave us alone by expressing their empowering and encouraging messages and who drew attention to the dangerous course of events in Turkey. 

Although it is important to see that the persons who threatened our Foundation, Rakel Dink and our lawyers were arrested promptly and that the authorities did not remain indifferent to what had happened, more importantly we expect the investigation to go further to reveal all the linkages. Most importantly, we demand to see the real instigators being brought to justice in the Hrant Dink Assassination Trial, which has been continuing since 2007.

Nowadays, we bear witness to a historic public reaction against impunity and discrimination in the USA. As the Hrant Dink Foundation, we would like to salute everyone respectfully across the globe and in Turkey, who strive to voice their quest for equality, freedom and justice by putting mutual understanding, empathy and dialogue at the core of their struggle.
