On January 19th,
at Three O’clock,
at the Same Spot…
It’s been a whole year
since we were parted from
our beloved friend, our treasure,
truth sayer, dearest Hrant.
We have spent this whole long year
mourning for the colours of our lives
that were lost with Hrant’s departure.
We, the citizens of this country,
do not want to get inured to
living in a dove’s skittishness,
among unresolved assassinations.
As dignified crowds that do not breed
hatred from this inconceivable murder,
to illuminate the darkness
that creates assassins from babies,
to claim a bright future for our country,
to together carry the load of our deep grief,
as the victims and watchers of the Hrant Dink case,
we are meeting on January 19th..
Irrespective of religion, language,
race, gender, and political opinion,
we are gathering as citizens
who believe in the brotherhood of peoples.
For Hrant, for Justice,
On January 19th,
at Three O’clock,
at the Same Spot…
FRIENDS OF HRANT
