    soldier's killing

    Turkish union on human right protection convened a conference
    regarding the April 24 killing of an Armenian soldier Sevak Sahin.

    Human right activists demanded that his death circumstances should be
    thoroughly investigated, Turkish Bianet website reported. The
    participants stressed that there is no evidence that murderer, Kvanc
    Agaoglu, was Sevak's close friend as Turkish armed forces were trying
    to present. It is also unclear why Agaoglu's gun was loaded.

    At a press conference lawyer of Sevak's relatives said nationalists
    were disturbing Sevak during his service. The lawyer also noted that
    Kvanc Agaoglu is a nationalist and the evidence thereof is his remarks
    on Facebook account.

    Earlier mother of killed Armenian soldier was taken to the military
    unit where the tragic incident occurred.

    25-year-old Sevak graduated from Faculty of Fine Arts,
    IstanbulTechnicalUniversity. He served in the military unit of the
    gendarmerie in Kozluk district of Batman province. He would have
    discharged from the army in 23 days. Gendarmerie stated he was killed
    from gunshot wounds, while playing with a gun with his friend on April
    24 However, Sevak's parents do not believe in it and demand a thorough
    investigation of his death.

    One of witnesses Fazla Keskin told that hearing the shot Sevak said:
    `What have you done? Kvanc, help me.'
