New details in Hrant Dink’s murder case were revealed during the investigation launched against the “Union of Movement of Patriotic Forces.” Some information on assault of the Turkish Court of Appeals was also clarified.
Taner Unal, the arrested leader of the union, said the assault on the Court of Appeals was organized by retired captain Muzafer Tekin.
The investigation showed that during a phone conversation the union members mentioned Hrant Dink’s name.
Vehbi Shanly, the leader’s assistant and some Necat Mete were speaking on the phone a day before Dink’s slaying.
Turkish media made the conversation public. “Hello, any news?” “Hello. Everything is ok.” “Is it our friends to kill this man yesterday?” “Yes, our friends. Were they found?” “No, don’t worry, they were not found.”
In May 2006 Alparslan Aslan has committed an assault on the Court of Appeals. As result, one judge was killed, four wounded, Yerkir reports.
