Codes of the Dink Operation~T by Adem Avuz Arslan, and the other ~V
"We did a Great Deal for This Homeland" by Shukran Pakkan).

claimed that Dink's murder was not a prearranged plot and condemned
the Turkish media for targeting Dink.
The true culprits are the chiefs of Hurriyet and Vatan newspapers,
as well as journalist Emin Colacan who spurred anti-Armenian hatred.
