Two lawyers of the family of “Agos” daily chief editor, assassinated in Istanbul in January, 2007 near his office appealed to the Istanbul Public Prosecutor’s Office claiming the appointment of an attorney for pursuing an investigation into Hrant Dink’s murder, that lasts for already 3 years, Today’s Zaman says.
“The prosecutor or prosecutors who will be appointed to this investigation should be released from other duties and attending hearings because the acts we mentioned in our petition covers a period of more than three years; the number of individuals and institutions involved is quite high and thus require intense concentration and time. This is why we requested from the office that prosecutors focus primarily on this investigation to conduct it in a timely and thorough manner, as one should not expect satisfactory work from them with their existing workload,” source quotes the lawyer Fethiye Cetin.
“The petition, which was submitted to the prosecutor’s office yesterday, lays out the course of the murder in phases of ‘preparation,’ ‘creating public opinion,’ ‘action’ and ‘manipulation’ and ‘destroying evidence’ after the murder,” the source reads.
“The elements of the preparation phase are described in the petition as news made by the media to turn the public opinion against Dink, official complaints against him with identical petitions and the indictments prepared against him without having any legal grounds. The members of the National Intelligence Organization (MIT), the intelligence services of the gendarmerie and the police are mentioned as being part of this phase, as they had not taken any preventative measures although they had been closely following the plan and the triggerman at the time,” Zaman concludes.
