Turkish investigation service unaware of Dink’s assassination
Turkish national investigation organization (MIT) sent a written statement to the court pending the murder case of “Agos” paper’s editor-in-chief Hrant Dink. The message says that MIT officers advised Dink to be careful.
“During the meeting with Dink, he was highly recommended to be careful. Dink was warned that his story about Sabiha Gyoqchen could raise social panic,” MIT message writes. According to the message the security officers had no information about Dink’s murder, Turkish “Haberler” reported.
Hrant Dink was assassinated in Istanbul in January 2007, by Ogun Samast, a 17-year old Turkish nationalist. This was shortly after the premiere of the genocide documentary "Screamers" in which he is interviewed about Turkish denial of the Armenian Genocide of 1915 and the case against him under article 301.
