New details emerged in the case of the murdered Hrant Dink,
Editor-in-Chief of the bilingual Turkish-Armenian newspaper Agos. A
legal act on a charge of the criminal omission for the imminent crime
was initiated against Ramazan Akyurek, Head of the Police Intelligence
Department, — who finally left the office Oct. 16.
The investigation shows that the police was informed about the schemed
crime a year in advance. Lawyers of Dink’s family accuse Turkish
Police Intelligence in information concealment. The Attorney Fethiye
Cetin welcoming Akyurek’s dismissal still called it "too belated".
Hrant Dink, 52, was murdered by Turkish nationalists January, 2007 near
the Agos editorial office in Istanbul. Hearings of the cause-celebre
are still in progress.
