Representatives of Turkish opposition the Republican People's Party
visited Ogun Samast, the murderer of chief editor of Agos newspaper
Hrant Dink, in jail. Speaking with them, the latter revealed the
details of the murder and his feelings before and after.
He again insisted on being incited to murder Hrant Dink and to tell
negative things about Armenians. `Yasin Hayal told me to kill Dink six
months before the murder. I managed to flee for five months but they
finally found me and were `injecting' for 5-6 days,' he told them.
According to Turkish Vatan, Samast, who is in jail for 5.5 years, has
neither health nor financial issues and shares the cell with other two
convicts.
He said he spends his time reading. After the sentence he is not
praying any more.
Referring to Dink's murder, Samast said if he was told to do it now,
he would have never agree. `...when I reached the Agos editorial office
I had changed my mind. I have entered the nearby café and spend 2-3
hours there. Afterwards I called Yasin saying there are security
officers there and I cannot do it. He ordered me to kill them too. But
in reality I lied there were no security officers. I was sitting on
stairs when Hrant passed. Everything happened in a second. I do not
remember the rest. I took the bus. I did not want to kill but when I
saw him in front of me...' he said.
Samast said he was extremely touched with Raquel Dink's speech about
him who said Samast was a child and until disclosing the darkness
making murderer from a child, nothing can be done.
