ISTANBUL, FEBRUARY 6, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. Ahmed Ilan

was dismissed in the evening of February 5 as a result of the
investigation in connection with the murder of Istanbul’s Agos
newspaper’s editor-in-chief Hrant Dink. According to some information,

I am to blame for this. I have not provided this information to higher

case of Dink’s murder, who according to some information, had worked
