/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The assassination of the editor-in-chief of the
Armenian-Turkish "Agos" newspaper Hrant Dink was the work of the secret
Gendarmerie intelligence unit of Turkey (JITEM), whose existence has
been denied by officials. This is stated in the document, included
in the third official indictment into Ergenekon case, a clandestine
gang accused of plotting to overthrow the government.
A document seized from the computer of Turhan Chemez, a former MP from
the ruling Justice and Development party, who was suspect at large
in the Ergenekon trial, a man called Ziyad Yusuf, who is said to
be a Kurd living in the Kurdish-controlled region of northern Iraq,
a retired general Veli Kyuchuk, arrested as a part of the Ergenekon
investigation and the National Police Department of Turkey were behind
the assassination of Hrant Dink.
The formal charge pointed out that professor Emin Gyurses, being under
arrest, and the other suspect, Colonel Mustafa Denmez discussed the
murder of Hrant Dink in a telephone conversation.
According to audio recordings, Gyurses said Denmezu following: "The
assassination of Hrant Dink was a good warning for those people,"
todayszaman.com says.
Hrant Dink was killed on January 19, 2007 by the nationalist Ogyun
Samast near the office of the Agos newspaper in Istanbul. Under Turkish
law, Samast can be sentenced to life imprisonment, since at the time
of the killing, he was already an adult. Earlier the Turkish press
said that at the time of the killing Samast was 17 years old.
