ARMENIAN PATRIARCH OF CONSTANTINOPLE – TARGET OF TURK NATIONALIST

The Turk, who Sunday fired a shot in the air in the yard of the
Armenian church of St. Virgin in Istanbul, stated that his real target
was the Armenian Patriarch of Constantinople Mesrop Mutafyan. The shot
was fired after the liturgy served in the Church in connection with
the forty days after the death of the killed editor of Agos newspaper,
Hrant Dink.

`I had prepared it for Mutafyan Second’, Volkan Karova cried towards
the journalists, when he and the other suspect Yilmaz Can Ozalp were
being conveyed to the prosecutor’s office. As `Liberty’ reports,
referring to the Turkish `Anatolia’ news agency, the court has brought
an accusation against both persons for `threatening by means of shots’
`for bearing unauthorized weapon’. Both they are arrested.
