    Dink's family demands quick action from prosecutors

    Two lawyers representing the family of the late Turkish-Armenian
    journalist Hrant Dink have asked the Ä°stanbul Public Prosecutor's
    Office to appoint prosecutors who would conduct a thorough
    investigation into the murder of Dink because it has proven to be a
    three-year-long `operation' through the legal cases, investigations
    and inquiries conducted up until the present day.

    The lawyers also requested that the prosecutors appointed allocate
    most of their time to the investigation.

    `The prosecutor or prosecutors who will be appointed to this
    investigation should be released from other duties and attending
    hearings because the acts we mentioned in our petition covers a period
    of more than three years; the number of individuals and institutions
    involved is quite high and thus require intense concentration and
    time. This is why we requested from the office that prosecutors focus
    primarily on this investigation to conduct it in a timely and thorough
    manner, as one should not expect satisfactory work from them with
    their existing workload,' lawyer Fethiye Ã?etin said.

    The petition, which was submitted to the prosecutor's office
    yesterday, lays out the course of the murder in phases of
    `preparation,' `creating public opinion,' `action' and `manipulation,'
    and `destroying evidence' after the murder.

    The elements of the preparation phase are described in the petition as
    news made by the media to turn the public opinion against Dink,
    official complaints against him with identical petitions and the
    indictments prepared against him without having any legal grounds. The
    members of the National Intelligence Organization (MÄ°T), the
    intelligence services of the gendarmerie and the police are mentioned
    as being part of this phase, as they had not taken any preventative
    measures although they had been closely following the plan and the
    triggerman at the time, Today's Zaman reports.
