The latest hearing on the assassination of the Turkish-Armenian
journalist Hrant Dink, who was fatally shot by an ultranationalist
teenager outside the Agos weekly in 2007, revealed that some defendants
in the Ergenekon case were in contact with defendants in the Dink case,
Today’s Zaman reports.
A report sent from the Istanbul Police Department to the court
hearing the Dink case said six Ergenekon defendants had telephone
conversations with the defendants in the Dink case prior to Dink’s
murder. According to the report, these Ergenekon suspects were Veli
Kucuk, Kemal Kerincsiz, Mustafa Levent GöktaÅ~_, Muzaffer Tekin and
Erbay Colakoglu.
The report was the result of the request by the Dink family’s lawyers,
who had demanded the 14th Ä°stanbul High Criminal Court write to
the Ä°stanbul Police Department to inquire about any links, such as
possible telephone conservations, between suspects in the Ergenekon
case and the Dink case.
The court asked the police department to look for any links between
the two cases, such as whether or not suspects had their telephone
numbers in each others’ phone books and if they had called one another.
