Turkish-Armenian writer shot dead

If you do not like a person's viewpoint, there would be protests, a bit of physical intimidation, and other ways to suppress or deny the person from speaking. In Turkey, you get shot.

Hrant Dink, a prominent Turkish-Armenian editor, was shot dead outside his newspaper office in Instanbul.

He was given a six-month suspended sentence in October 2005 after writing about the Armenian "genocide" of 1915.
