Death for Free Speech in Muslim Turkey

We read:

"A prominent Turkish-Armenian editor, convicted in 2005 of insulting Turkish identity, has been shot dead outside his newspaper's office in Istanbul.

Crowds of Hrant Dink's colleagues and supporters gathered at the scene, chanting their outrage at his murder.

Dink was given a six-month suspended sentence in October 2005 after writing about the Armenian "genocide" of 1915.

Note that the despicable BBC puts the word "genocide" in quotes. Muslims killing a million Armenians is NOT genocide??
