Anadolu Kültür Executive Board Chair Osman Kavala, who has been in prison since November 1, 2017, has sent a message to Agos weekly newspaper via his lawyers on the 11th anniversary of Hrant Dink being murdered.

In his message, Kavala said:

Dear Hrant,

You are my second friend who was killed after Onat Kutlar.

The bullet that cut you off from life has left us alone with an example of a terrifying fatal malignancy.

We have endeavored to associate our lives with yours and learn something from you in order to cope with this pain.  What we learned from you fortified the building blocks of our conscience by transforming our pain.

We thank you for these and the power to resist that these provided. (EKN/TK)
