YEREVAN, JANUARY 18, ARMENPRESS. Seven years have passed since Hrant
Dink died. The real criminals are still in freedom, and
the lawsuit continues. The first round of the trial is complete, the
second one has begun: like Karl Marx's famous words `The first
was tragedy, the second was comedy,' Turkish prominent historian Taner
Akçam wrote in his article in `Taraf' periodical, Armenpress
reports.
`Many of us wonder without reason saying why the real criminals are
hidden, why this lawsuit lasted so long. The answer is very
simple in reality. The consultant of the Prime Minister Hamdi KILIÇ
wrote in Twitter on January 2, 2014: phenomenon called `state
tradition' continues in this country. To understand what it is, you
may just read a little history. I want to remind that reflexes of our
state traditions for defending itself which developed through the
whole history are rather fearful. 'Mushaviri was right. The murder
of Hrant Dink was just one of those terrifying reflexes carried out by
the state. If we had read a little history, we would realize what
happened related to his case and would not wonder so much,' Hamdi KILIÇ writes.
