From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Agos (Armenian: Ակօս, "Furrow") is an Armenian weekly newspaper published in Turkey, established 5 April 1996. It is published in Istanbul and has a circulation of around 5,000. It has both Armenian and Turkish pages as well as an on-line English edition. Hrant Dink was its chief editor from the newspaper's start until his assassination outside of the newspaper's offices in Istanbul in January 2007.
Hrant Dink's son Arat Dink who served as the executive editor of the weekly has been named as a co-defendant in the cases brought against Hrant Dink for denigrating Turkishness due to his managerial position at the weekly. After Hrant Dink's assassination, the editor-in-chief of the weekly became Etyen Mahçupyan and Arat Dink continued to serve as the executive editor.
