Hrant Dink Photos Up for Auction

Photos showing slain Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink fishing at the seaside have gone up for auction, private broadcaster NTV reported on its website today.

The three photos, taken while the Dink was fishing on Büyükada island, will be part of an auction that also includes 300 other photos.

The bidding for the photos will begin at 1,500 Turkish Liras (about 750 euros).

The auction, hosted by the Artium Gallery, will take place Feb. 23 at the Sofa Hotel. The photos will be on display until then in the Artium building in Teşvikiye, Istanbul, the Hurriyet Daily News reports.

Dink, the editor-in-chief of the weekly Agos, which is published in Armenian and Turkish, was gunned outside his newspaper’s office in 2007.
