ISTANBUL, MAY 3, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. The 14th criminal
court of Istanbul did not accept the bill of indictment prepared by
prosecutors on the case of murder of Hrant Dink, editor-in-chief of
the weekly "Akos". The 30-page indictment demanded that punishment
should be meted out for 18 accused persons on charge of creating a
"terrorist organization". The court explained that "the facts about
the creation of a terrorist organization by the accused persons and
their joining it are not sufficient."
However, prosecutors Selim Berna Altay and Fikret Secen disputed
the court decision in the 9th criminal court that sent the bill of
indictment to the 14th criminal court.
Fethiye Cetin, lawyer of the Dinks, stated that the court procedure
is considered as started from the moment of accepting the bill of
indictment: "Since this moment, it has started."
