The commander of Sevak Shahin Balikci, the Turkish-Armenian soldier
who was gunned during service last year, is found to have given false
testimony.
According to the Turkish media, Sadrettin Ersoz has alleged that the
crime was committed due to his negligence.
An indictment against the Turkish commander has been sent to a
military court of Diyarbekir.
Balikci was killed on April 24, 2011 in a military unit of the Turkish
gendarmerie.
His fiancée said said in court that Sevak had been beaten by his
commander over lost money. After submitting complaint, however, the
soldier was forced to withdraw it. The commander reportedly threatened
to burn Sevak to death in case he failed to follow the instruction.
