Turkish court ordered a colonel and five soldiers on Tuesday to stand trial in connection with the murder in 2007 of Hrant Dink, editor of Istanbul-based Agos Turkish-Armenian weekly, who was assassinated by a nationalist gunman outside his office on January 19, 2007.
Colonel Ali Oz was indicted last year for failing to provide protection to Hrant Dink, who had received death threats before he was murdered.
A lower court dismissed the case against Oz but, on Tuesday, a court in the city of Trabzon said Oz should stand trial.
Two low-ranking soldiers are already on trial accused of neglect of duty in the Dink murder, Reuters reports.
