11:30 - 26.01.13
The regular trial of the case of murder of ethnic Armenian conscript
Sevak Sahin Balikci in Turkish province of Batman took place in a
Diyarbekir court, Sondakika website reports.
It says testimonies of 7 servicemen were heard in which the relatives
of the murdered soldier found contradictions and were claiming that
they have given these testimonies under pressure.
The prosecutor made a petition to court to hear their testimonies
again but the court refused it reasoning the protraction of the trial.
The lawyer of Kivanc Agaoglu, the murderer, claimed that `a secret
Armenian band' is trying to kill Kivanc and he needs a state
protection. The court though declined this petition as well.
The lawyer claimed that Sevak and Kivanc were close friends and the
latter killed his friend not on purpose but accidentally. The lawyer
of Sevak's family Cem Halavurt though insisted that it was a
deliberate murder and the fact that it happened on April 24, the day
of Commemoration of the Armenian Genocide, cannot be a coincidence.
