Hrant Dink, the editor-in-chief of the bilingual Turkish-Armenian newspaper Agos, was assassinated in Istanbul in January 2007, by a 17-year old Turkish nationalist. Dink was best known for advocating Turkish-Armenian reconciliation and human and minority rights in Turkey. At his funeral, two hundred thousand mourners marched in protest of the assassination, chanting "We are all Armenians" and "We are all Hrant Dink"
