YEREVAN (YERKIR) - The world press widely covers the trial on the
murder case of Hrant Dink, editor-in-chief of 'Agos' Armenian-Turkish
bilingual.
The New York Times newspaper has declared that this case will test
the rule of law in Turkey. The paper also said that the court is
not open to public because the suspects are too young. The NYT
claimed that a just trial will not be possible according to the
defense counsels because of the high interest in the case. In its
turn the French newspaper Le Monde said that the police had known
about the intentions of the murderers but that the counsels' demand
to investigate the subject was rejected.
The Spanish newspaper El Pais asserted that the case tries the
objectiveness of the court in Turkey. The paper claimed that
there are still doubts that Turkey keeps the structure of a
'state-within-a-state'. El Pais also remarked that the EU follows
the case closely.
A court in Istanbul, which yesterday started the trial on the murder
case of Hrant Dink, editor-in-chief of 'Agos' Armenian-Turkish
bilingual, has decided to broaden the investigation to consider
allegations of official negligence. After a 12-hour hearing, the court
released four of the 18 suspects. The judge also decided to postpone
the hearing till October 1.
