Investigating the possibility of negligence in Hrant Dink's murder by
public officials, Interior Ministry inspectors demanded condemnation
for Istanbul's police chief, Celalettin Cerrah, and a trial for the
intelligence chief of the Istanbul police, Ahmet İlhan Güler, Tteh
Turkish Daily News reports referring to the daily Hürriyet.
Cerrah was found at fault for not fulfilling his responsibility to
control, the inspectors' report said, as there were not any serious
measures taken to protect Dink despite warnings from Trabzon police
about a possible assassination of Dink on Feb. 17, 2006. Cerrah also
had declined to protect Dink although he was in danger and a possible
target because of his articles published in weekly Agos. Dink was the
editor in chief of multilingual Agos.
Accusing Ä°lhan for not seriously following Yasin Hayal, who is a
leading suspect for inciting the murder, the inspectors called for a
halt for Ä°lhan's seniority and demanded him to be tried for
negligence. The inspectors' report also noted that Güler did not make
a serious effort to protect Dink.
Three inspectors presented their reports to Interior minister
Abdulkadir Aksu after they completed the report on Istanbul police and
Ankara. The reports will be sent to the High Disciplinary Council of
the police department.
