Print Run of Istanbul-Based "Agos" Newspaper Has Grown Three-Fold

Today at a press conference held at the "Hayeli Club", Pakrat Estukian, the Armenian-language editor of the Istanbul-based Agos newspaper stated that weekly's print run had increased threefold after the murder of Hrant Dink, the paper's founder. "Agos has been published for eleven years now. Twenty of the paper's twenty four pages are in Turkish, and the remaining four are in Armenian and usuallly contain articles with cultural and historical themes. Before the murder of Hrant Dink the paper's press run was around 3,000 - 3,500. It's gone up three times since then," Mr. Estukian noted. Immediately after the death of Hrant Dink the paper's run shot up ten fold the editor stated and added that Agos is considered to be an opposition paper in Turkey. In the Armenian pages you'll find articles contributed by Armenian intellectuals while in the Turkish section you'll find the works of Armenian chroniclers in Turkish but the majority of articles are written by Turkish intellectuals who share the opinions of Agos.
