/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Yasin Hayal, the Trabzon man who has
admitted being behind the murder of Agos
Armenian-Turkish newspaper editor Hrant Dink, told
police that he thought the perpetrator of the crime
would "remain unknown" after the event, reports
Hurriyet. Hayal also said in his admission that he had
told another Trabzon resident, Zeynel Abidin Yavuz,
that if he killed Dink, Yavuz would "become a hero"
and that the "whole world would know his name." Yavuz
later rejected Hayal’s urgings to carry out the crime,
at which point Hayal turned to 17 year old Ogun
Samast, the young man who was caught after pulling the
trigger on the gun that killed Dink in broad daylight
on an Istanbul street two Fridays ago.
