History
Turkish-Armenian
Hrant Dink was ''Agos'' chief editor from the newspaper's beginnings until his assassination outside the newspaper's offices in Istanbul in January 2007.
Hrant Dink's son,
Arat Dink, who served as the executive editor of the weekly, had been co-defendant in the cases brought against Hrant Dink for
"denigrating Turkishness" on account of his managerial position at the weekly.
After
Hrant Dink's assassination,
Etyen Mahçupyan was named editor-in-chief. In 2010, he was succeeded in that position by
Rober Koptaş. Arat Dink continued to serve as executive editor.
In 2012, a plan made by the
Atsız Youth to attack the ''Agos'' headquarters was exposed.
In 2015,
Yetvart Danzikyan became editor-in-chief of the newspaper and
Aris Nalcı executive editor.
