Following the report about the participation of the Turkish police
and gendarmerie in the assassination of the editor-in-chief of the
Agos daily Hrant Dink, the opposition has demanded the resignation
of Turkish Interior Minister Abdulkadir Aksu and other senior police
officers.

Heads of opposition factions presented an inquiry on Aksu’s rsignation
to the Parliament, "Miiliyet" reports.

The paper says that the terrorist actions, threat to security and crime
rate during the Interior Minister’s tenure in office have reached an
enormous level, "which led to divisions inside the security service
of Turkey and establishment of an atmosphere of distrust among the
members of staff."
