/PanARMENIAN.Net/ On Tuesday, after about three weeks after the
assassination of Agos Armenian-Turkish newspaper editor Hrant Dink,
the Sisli circuit court of Istanbul resumed legal proceeding against
Dink, who was earlier accused of "insulting Turkishness" and handed
a 6 months’ suspended sentence. The Turkish Court of Appeal agreed
with the sentence but changed it stating that 15 people who brought
in the suit can’t be considered plaintiffs, since the "insult" was
not targeted at them. Yesterday the Sisli court fulfilled the order
of the Supreme Court and decreed that the individuals who took the
action are not plaintiffs. However, a judge said that Dink’s death
was not officially registered in the court records and postponed the
hearing to June 14, reports RFE/RL.
