"Yes, I see myself in the uneasiness of a dove’s soul. But I know that in this country, people do not harm doves. Doves live close to the city, right in the middle of humans. Yes, they are a bit timid but just as free."

Hrant Dink (1954–2007) was a Turkish-Armenian journalist and human rights advocate committed to peace and reconciliation. His quote, "To live with the uneasiness of a dove," reflects his perspective as an Armenian living in Turkey. A victim of a hate crime, he was assassinated in 2007.
