Hrant Dink’s assassination was organized y Turkish authorities. This
was how Turkish intellectual Ali Ertem assessed the fact of murder of
the editor-in-chief of the Istanbul based Armenian Agos newspaper in
an interview with Armenpress.

`It was a political murder. Living in the Turkish state, Armenians
have no security guarantees, said Ali Ertem.

According to him, a country aspiring to join the European Union,
cannot act that way. `Turkey should change its policy, the current way
of action does not promote the process of EU accession. Turkey’s
chances to join the EU reduce after Hrant Dink’s assassination,’ Ali
Ertem said.
