"Ahmet Samast, father of Ogun Samast, who was sentenced to 21 years
and six months in jail this week for assassinating Armenian-Turkish
journalist Hrant Dink, has said his son was used in the murder plot
and that the real perpetrators of the crime need to be punished,"
Today's Zaman reports.
"They tricked and used Ogun, who was punished. The murder should be
fully investigated. If there are other people behind it, they should
be tried and punished too," he said.
"Ahmet Samast emphasized that the Samast family has never been involved
in a crime and that it was obvious that his son was manipulated. Samast
said that his son had only been in touch with only Yasin Hayal,
who is suspected of inciting Ogun Samast to the murder.
Ahmet Samast also said that he does not know anything about Hayal's
connections," the newspaper reads.
"If the ruling is going to be just in this case, those who directed
my son toward the murder should be punished," he said.
