A solitary-living Armenian woman (80) has been assaulted in Istanbul's
Feriköy neighborhood - a reminder of assaults on elderly Armenian
women in Samatya around December 2012.
Last year's assaults resulted in the death of Maritsa Kucuk and several
injuries among others. At the end of an investigation, police captured
Murat Nazaryan in suspicion for perpetrating the assaults.
According to an article by Uygar Gultekin on Agos.com.tr, Markırıt
Camkosoglu (80) has been assault in he apartment in Feriköy's SavaÅ~_
Street. Camkosoglu counted her story as follows:
"On Saturday [August 17] I went to the supermarket. On my way back
to my apartment, there was a man in the building. Moderate in height,
he was a dark ugly one. He was standing by the staircase. I thought he
was going upstairs. I don't know who the heck is ever visiting this
massive building. As soon as I unlocked my front door, he assaulted
me. I fell on the floor. He climbed on top of me and started hitting
me in the head. He attempted to murder me. He didn't say a word to
hide his identity. I had my purse on the table. There was 70 liras
inside. He ran away with the purse. I have been living here for 50
years and this kind of incident has never occurred me before. "
The aggressor knew about entrance hours of building-dwellers,
neighbors say. They express their concern, saying that the aggressor
knew that she was living on her own and he chose the calmest hour of
the building.
Advocated previously demanded a broader investigation
Previously, Murat Nazaryan has been arrested for perpetrating attack
in Samatya around December 2012. Standing trial twice already,
Nazaryan claimed that he didn't remember what happened. In response,
Maritsa Kucuk's lawyers demanded the court panel to launch a broader
investigation on the issue. (NV/BM)
