/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "I was shocked with the news about brutal murder
of several workers in Malatia, Southeast of Turkey. As far as I can
judge, the motive of the crime was religious, since the dead worked
in a Christian publishing house. I am irritated with this crime
and those who are guilty in it, arouse deep aversion. I am sure the
Turkish authorities will make every efforts to bring the murderers
under justice," says Terry Davis in his statement.

On April 18 in Malatia, Southeast of Turkey, in the result of an armed
attack on a publishing house three people were killed, and two more
wounded. According to preliminary information unknown young men with
nationalistic views have committed the crime; they are protesting
against use of Bible on the Turkish territory.
