In September 2006 , another case was opened against Dink on charges of ' denigrating Turkishness ' under Article 301 of the Turkish Penal Code , which Amnesty International considered to be " part of an emerging pattern of harassment against the journalist exercising his right to freedom of expression . " The charge was brought against him by the Istanbul Prosecutor 's Office after he referred to the 1915 massacre of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire as genocide during a July 14 , 2006 interview with Reuters : The charges were also leveled at Serkis Seropyan and Dink 's son Arat Dink , as the holder of Agos 's publishing license and executive editor , respectively . On June 14 , 2007 , the case against Hrant Dink was dropped due to his death , though proceedings for Serkis Seropyan and Arat Dink were scheduled for July 18 , 2007
