It is too late for “amicable settlement” of Hrant Dink’s case in the European Court of Human Rights, said Dink’s lawyer Fethiye Cetin, commenting on Turkish FM Ahmet Davutoglu’s statement that Turkey wants to solve Dink’s issue peacefully.
It is too late to reach a compromise deal and Dink’s family has rejected such proposal, she added.
As NEWS.am reported earlier, several days ago Turkish press reported that the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg has found Turkey guilty of failing to prevent the murder of Editor of the Agos daily Hrant Dink and properly conduct an investigation to disclose the crime. It was noted that the Court verdict will be published in the press this September.
Hrant Dink was accused of violating notorious Article 301 of the Turkish criminal code, “insulting Turkishness,” which set the scene for the murder. As it turned out later, both police and gendarmerie were well informed of the planned crime.
During his visit to Baku the Turkish President stated the Government had not taken necessary measures to prevent the crime. A few days later he invited Dink’s brother to his residence.
Turkish FM Ahmet Davutoglu tried to justify himself by stating he had not been informed of or signed the speech for the defense the Turkish Government sent to the European Court. In that document Dink was described as a neonazi.
