Could intelligence agencies prevent Dink's murder?
August 14, 2010 | 17:13
The Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor's Office has sent a request to the
Prime Ministry to investigate the National Intelligence Organization
(MIT) to find out whether they could prevent Hrant Dink's
assassination, Hurriyet Daily News & Economic Review reported.
In its reply to Prime Ministry, MIT said it had no documents or data
on this case. The ministry's response should be signed by Premier
Recep Tayyip Erdogan to be sent to the prosecution.
`Any legal investigation of MİT or its employees regarding actions
done in the line of duty needs approval from the Prime Ministry,'
Hurriyet Daily News says, adding that the request is likely to be
rejected.
According to the source, the lawyers of Hrant Dink's family repeatedly
stated that MIT, police and the gendarmerie were aware of journalist's
assassination, but took no action to prevent the crime.
