/PanARMENIAN.Net/ One of the suspects in the murder of
Hrant Dink, the editor of Agos Turkish-Armenian
newspaper, issued a threat against Nobel Prize-winning
novelist Orhan Pamuk on Wednesday. "Orhan Pamuk, be
smart, be smart!" Yasin Hayal shouted to reporters as
he was being brought to an Istanbul courtroom. Hayal,
a nationalist militant, confessed to inciting the
slaying of Dink and to providing a gun and money to
the alleged killer, 17-year-old Ogun Samast, who
pleaded guilty to the crime, police said.
Like Dink, Orhan Pamuk had faced trial for "insulting
Turkishness". However, case was thrown out on a
technicality. Like Dink, he also said he had received
death threats and had considered leaving the country
because of them, reports the Anatolia news agency.
