Hrant Dink Murder

Editor-in-Chief of "Jhamanak" newspaper, Ara Kochunian, informed the
mass media that the recommencement of the trial on Hrant Dink murder
shall be marked with a protest demonstration in front of the court
house. A number of organizations are intended to rise with protest
demanding fair judgment.

Kochunian also informed that most likely the court sessions will be
open for the press. "Until now the murder of Hrant Dink was not adult,
that is why the court sessions were closed. Now when the murderer has
reached the age of 18, it will be legal to announce his full name and
the mass media will have full access to the trial process," he said.

To be reminded, the court trial process was suspended on April 28,
after the evidence of 3 suspects from 19 had been examined.
