YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 5, ARMENPRESS: A protest action was organized
in Istanbul's Taksim square by ,,Nor Zartonq" organization against
the murder of Armenian solder Sevak Balikci on April 24. Sayat Pekir
representative of ,,Nor Zartonq" mentioned that there are more than
250 people at Taksim and they are going to join another group in
other district. So we can say that about 1000 protestors "will come
together for justice". He has also mentioned that the majority of
protestors are foreigners; the family of Sevak is present as well.
About year and a half passed after Sevak's death but the murderer is
still in freedom.
Balikci, who was killed in the military unit on April 24, had 23
days to complete his service. Official sources suggested that a
bullet released from a fellow servicemen's gun accidentally caused
the death of Sevak. Turkish Ministry of Defense declared that the
serviceman died accidentally when joking with a fellow . But later
Turkish media spread news concerning the murderer of Balikci Kıvanc
Agaoglu as he was related to national forces. Nevertheless, the 2nd
Court of Diyarbakır decided to release the murderer on August 1, 2011
after 3 months of imprisonment coming to the conclusion that Agaoglu
who ,,accidentally" killed Armenian soldier had no reason to escape,
though the case is still not closed.
