ERDOGAN FINDS THAT DINK'S MURDER WAS CRIME OF FORETHOUGHT
11:15, 2 March, 2015
YEREVAN, MARCH 2, ARMENPRESS. The President of Turkey Recep Tayyip
Erdogan thinks that the assassination of the former Editor-in-Chief
of the Istanbul-based Armenian periodical Agos Hrant Dink was a crime
of forethought. As reports "Armenpress", the Turkish T24.com states
that the Turkish President reflected on the issue on his way back
home from Saudi Arabia responding the questions of the journalists
in the aircraft.
Among other things, the Turkish President touched upon the decision to
arrest the former head of Turkey's police intelligence Ramazan Akyurek
and particularly underscored: "I am not a lawyer, but, in my opinion,
it's impossible to trace negligence in this case. There is a crime
of forethought in this incident. It has nothing to do with negligence."
Samast, who was sentenced to 21 years and six months in prison in 2011
for the murder, is currently testifying as a witness in the ongoing
investigation into the murder. The sources said that Samast has named
the suspect, who can add a new dimension to the investigation following
a three hour interrogation by prosecutor Yusuf Hakkı Dogan.
Hrant Dink, editor-in-chief of Agos, was murdered outside his office by
17-year-old Ogun Samast on January 19 2007. An earlier investigation
showed that the prosecutors who worked on the case ignored serious
allegations into the involvement of top police officers in the murder.
