Turkish prosecutors say the teenager suspected of murdering Turkish-Armenian
journalist Hrant Dink has confessed.

Ogun Samast was arrested after he was identified by his father from CCTV
images taken near the scene of Friday’s killing in Istanbul.

Prosecutors say he confessed after being detained in the Black Sea port of
Samsun, before he was returned to Istanbul for further questioning, reports
the BBC.

Istanbul governor Muammer Guler announced the details of the capture in a
live television broadcast late on Saturday.

He said police captured Ogun Samast, aged 16 or 17, late on Saturday on a
bus in Samsun still carrying the gun allegedly used in the murder.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
