The Turkish state television TRT will pay a financial compensation
to the family of former editor-in-chief of "Agos" Hrant Dink for
spreading false information after the court upheld the family's claim.
In December 2008, the television station broadcasted its subsequent
program called "Labyrinth of Interests" dedicated to the events of
Marash in 1978 when over 100 people died as a result of the conflicts
between Aliyevs, Sunnis and Muslims.
One of the guests was nationalist deputy from Marash, Professor Okesh
Shandiler who announced that the bloody conflicts were provoked by
young left-wing figures, including Hrant Dink.
According to "Azatutyun" radio, the court ruled that Shandiler, TRT
and the company that was directly involved in preparing the program
series had to pay 20,000 Turkish Lira (nearly 13,000 dollars) to
Dink's family. The family will transfer the money to the "Hrant Dink"
international foundation
