    TRIAL PROCESS 'COMEDY' - FETHIYE CETIN

    The ruling on Hrant Dink's murder angered supporters of Dink who said
    the trial failed to shed light on the alleged connections between
    the murder and Turkish state officials, Radio Liberty reported.

    Dink family's lawyer, Fethiye Cetin, slammed the ruling, saying it
    meant that a "state tradition of political murders" was deliberately
    left intact because it did not deal with accusations of state
    involvement in the 2007 murder.

    "Those who feel uneasy about the state being depicted as killing its
    own people -- being murderers, assassins -- have done nothing to clear
    [the state's] name," Cetin said. "They have squandered the chance
    they had in hand."

    She said the trial failed to shed light on "the darkness" - alleged
    connections between the suspects and some state officials.

    This case is not over ... for us this case is just starting," said
    Cetin, vowing to appeal the verdict and likening the trial process to a
    "comedy."

    A panel of judges found Yasin Hayal guilty of instigating Dink's
    killing, and gave him the life term despite a plea by a prosecutor that
    the court should sentence seven of the suspects to life in prison,
    including Erhan Tuncel - who until now has been portrayed as another
    key instigator.
