As the sixth hearing of Hrant Dink's murder case was about to commence
yesterday morning (July 7), Hrant's friends were taking their usual
place at BeÅ~_iktaÅ~_ Square as in the previous hearings to show
their determination for justice.
The statement that came out of the crowd of the 250 people was that
Dink's murder case was a case of 'to be or not to be' for the Turkish
justice system.
Zeynep Tanbay, who read the press release, said the following:
"The case started exactly a year ago; a year during which most of the
authorities who knew about the murder beforehand, who perhaps helped
the murder or who at least closed their eyes to the events that lead
to it were simply not investigated. From now on, murder suspect's age
will be eighteen. "O.S." will become Ogun Samast. And the trial will
be an open one. This leads us to the hope that we may see a healthier
trial process."
Voicing the question that if the citizens of the Turkish Republic were
condemned to live constantly burying their shame, the terrible things
they know, Tanbay said that they want justice and this is actually
a very simple wish. She added that the way to the justice would be
opened if the criminals were not protected.
Among those who were at the activity were Gulten Kaya, Yıldırım
Turker, Tugrul Eryılmaz, Umit Fırat, Adalet Agaoglu, Oral
CalıÅ~_lar, Ä°pek CalıÅ~_lar, RuÅ~_en Cakır, Yavuz Baydar, Zeynep
Tanbay, Umit Kıvanc, AyÅ~_egul Altınay, Mete Cubukcu and Oya Baydar.
The crowd chanted slogans such as "We are all Hrants, we are all
Armenians", "We are all witnesses, we want justice!" "Despite Fascism,
Hrant, you are our brother!" (CU/EZO/TB)
