‘Let’s cover his coffin with Turkish flag’

CHP also supported the suggestion of the AKP member Çelik to cover
the coffin with Turkish flag.

Is it possible to cover Hrant Dink’s coffin with flag? Sevigen from
CHP said: "it is possible if his family want to." Another opinion:
"it is against law. But it can be a message to the ones who aim to
stir Turkey."

Çelik: "his coffin should be covered with Turkish flag"

The political consultant of the prime minister, Çelik, said that Dink
is the victim of the pop-fascism of Hitler style and added: "he was
the host of this country. His coffin should be covered with Turkish
flag".

The political consultant of the prime minister, Ömer Çelik, the
deputy of AKP from Adana, stated that the murder of Hrant Dink is the
result of the ‘pop fascism’ wave created by the marginal mentality
sworn to terminate the other. He said: "Turkey can fight with any
kind of terror. However, the major point here is a pop-fascism in
Hitler style. Contrary to some, he was not entrusted to us as an
Armenian; rather he was the real host of this country. So his funeral
should be suitable for this with a Turkish flag."
