Story of One Photo: Turkey’s white pigeon

Hrant Dink struggled all his life for the sake of regulation of relations between Armenian and Turkish people. Dink was one of the intellectuals living in Turkey who was uninterruptedly threatened by Turkish nationalist groups, but all the same, did not give up.

In his last article he had written that he was as frightened as a pigeon, but he knew that in that country people do not touch pigeons. But on January 19, 2007, the fearless pigeon of Turkey was killed.After Dink’s death a pigeon entered his study room and stayed there for weeks.

Dink was a pigeon, too, but he did not fear and did not hide. This is one of the most famous photos of Hrant Dink.
