Istanbul Governor Distributes Photos Of Suspect
ISTANBUL - Istanbul Governor Muammer Guler said secretaries of Agos
identified the suspect whose photos were distributed today.
At a press conference in Istanbul, Guler stated that investigations
are continuing into the murder of Hrant Dink, editor-in-chief of the
bilingual Turkish-Armenian weekly Agos.
"According to information from Dink`s secretaries, the suspect, whose
photos have been distributed, came to the office of the paper at noon
time and asked to talk to Hrant Dink. He introduced himself as a
student from Ankara University and said he had some questions to ask
to Dink. Secretaries said they had told him that Hrant Dink was not
at the office as they did not allow any meetings without
appointments, as a principle and this person left the office,"
Governor Guler said.
Noting that secretaries had seen the said man in front of a bank
office across the street as they were out of the office at 14.00
hours, Guler said, "secretaries identified the man in photos and
stated that he was the same person who came to their office and
wanted to see Dink."
Guler said nobody was under custody at the moment regarding the
incident.
Responding to a question about a found winter hat believed to be the
suspect`s, Guler said it was not true.
