"Come together again"

The call for the "chain of conscience" reads:

"19 January was an important day to bring together this country's conscience and minds. After a great loss, we managed to come together. We want to come together again, for our friend Hrant Dink, and for this country's future, and with him, we want our voices to be heard loudly and clearly.
