of Diyarbakır has agreed to try the commander of slain ethnic Armenian
soldier Sevag Şahin Balıkcı, Nouvelles d'Armenie reports.

malpractice charges.
Sevag Şahin Balıkcı, 25, was killed in a Turkish military unit on April

while reportedly playing a practical joke with his co-serviceman,
who was later allowed to walk free despite the indictment stipulating
for 9 years behind bars for murder by negligence.
