An Istanbul court finally received the phone records requested from
Turkey's Telecommunications Directorate (TIB) in the case of Hrant
Dink, a Turkish journalist of Armenian origin assassinated in 2007,
the Hurriyet Daily News reports.
The TIB had initially refused to comply with the court's request,
claiming the demand would amount to a "violation of privacy." In
recent months, the TIB had continued dragging its feet by advancing
other objections to the request to release the phone records relevant
to the case.
The TIB finally agreed to the court's request and sent the records
last week.
Dink was the chief editor for weekly Agos, a paper published in both
Turkish and Armenian. He was shot in front of his office in January
2007. Gunman Ogun Samast was sentenced to 22 years in prison last
month for the murder.
