/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Turkish Ministry of Interior has initiated
proceedings against Istanbul Police Chief Celalettin Cerah and ex-head
of the intelligence department Ahmed Ilham Guler, who did not react
properly to the information on planned attempt on Hrant Dink’s
life. The information was furnished 11 months before the
assassination. As a Turkish Interior Ministry’s official, who
preferred to remain unknown, told France Press, the investigators have
disclosed `administrative and legal violations by Cerah and Guler.’
Both officials will have to provide explanation, reports RFE/RL.

Ahmed Ilham Guler was dismissed over the case the other day.
