I analyze digital posts concerning the murder in Turkey of Hrant Dink, a well-known Turkish Armenian journalist, on the websites of the two most popular Turkish newspapers. This examination considers readers’ comments on the day of the murder, January 19, 2007, and the annual commemorations over the subsequent 6 years.

Furthermore, I demonstrate how users repurpose online comment sections to reproduce notions of inferential racism by producing affective nationalism vis-à-vis Armenian–Turkish relations.
