BY TERCUMAN NEWSPAPER
Yerevan, January 22. ArmInfo. Patriarch of Istanbul and All Turkey
Mesrop Mutafyan has expressed his indignation at the Jan 21 article
of Tercuman newspaper (Turkey) alleging that the murderer of Hrant
Dink Ogun Samast is of Armenian origin.
Lraper newspaper reports Mutafyan to say that the article attempts
to prove that the murderer is not Turk. "This is a result of the
unhealthy mentality of blaming Armenians for all," says Mutafyan
and notes that this is an instance of national discrimination and a
violation of the Turkish Constitution.
To remind, Jan 21 Turkish police arrested 17-year-old Ogun Samast,
who confessed that it was he who killed Dink.
Turkish mass media reports that, following the Tercuman report,
the relatives of Samast spoke on TV and refuted the news that Samast
is Armenian.
