On Monday, July 7, the sixth trial session in the Hrant Dink murder
case will be held in Istanbul.

The murder suspect in the Dink case, Ogun Samast, will be legally
18 years old on that day, so the trial will be open to the public
and press.

In this trial, several witnesses who were around the Agos weekly’s
building on the day of murder may possibly be called to testify,
the TDN reports.

24 people, including top retired generals and high-ranking officials
were arrested in Turkey last week over suspicion in links with
Ergenekon network supposed to have organized the murder of Hrank
Dink. Ergenekon is also suspected in plotting assassination of Orhan
Pamuk and a number of other Turkish authors and journalists.
