Hrant Dink
Just now I heard on the news that Hrant Dink, a brave man, whom I had the privilege of hearing at Berkeley last year, was killed on the street today. Dink, the editor of the Armenian-Turkish weekly Agos, frequently in the news in Turkey for "insulting Turkishness," was 53 years old.
Both the Armenian word genats (Կենաց) and the Hebrew expression le-hayim (לחיים) are used to preface toasts, and both literally translate as "to life."
