Lawyer Fethiye Cetin argues that it might be considered to merge
the Dink murder case with the Ergenekon file if new findings occur
that support the "Cage" Operation. He said they would follow up the
operation plan’s registry of Agos newspaper subscribers.

Joint attorney of the Hrant Dink case Fethiye Cetin considered the
allegations regarding a "Cage Operation Action Plan" as "grave and
frightening". The "Cage Operation Action Plan" was supposedly worked
out as a coup plan by the Naval Forces, targeting non-Muslims and
aiming to charge them of their religious beliefs.

Taraf newspaper reported that the plan also included a map showing
homes and offices belonging to minorities and 939 non-Muslim
representatives all over Turkey.

Cetin: I am in horror…

Avukat Cetin talked to bianet and expressed her astonishment about the
matter, "I am in horror right now. Some forces of this country sit down
and they will make a plan to define their fellow citizens of their
own country as enemies. They will kill Armenians and non-Muslims in
the psychological war they conduct against the ones defined as their
enemies, both in terms of supplies and casualties".

Lawyer Cetin indicated that the investigation into the cage operation
has not been completed yet and is carried out confidentially. She
said she let it go with evaluating the events reflected in the media.

Agos subscribers’ details registered in the operation plan Cetin
stated that the Hrant Dink murder case might be merged with the
Ergenekon trial in case of a tangible connection with the Dink case
and a verification of the claims.

Cetin announced that new findings emerged to support the claim that
Armenian Agos newspaper subscribers were subject to the operation
plan, saying that the matter is also going to be followed up by
the newspaper.

Hatemi: Computers stolen from Greek foundation bianet asked Lighthouse
