`The State has Sided with the Killers': Dink's Friends Wrote to Erdogan

Friends of Hrant Dink today addressed a letter to Turkish Prime
Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan on the occasion of Dink's birthday who
would've turned 57 if he were alive today.
`If the darkness which creates murderers out of babies had not taken
Dink away from us on Jan. 19, 2007, he would most probably be sipping
his rakı with his grandchildren, family and friends tonight. There
will be a new hearing of the Dink trial on Sept. 19. Another one in a
string of never-ending hearings, the number of which we have
forgotten, and yet, no distance has been covered so far.
`On such a day, we write the following letter to the prime minister as
Hrant's friends. Esteemed prime minister, they have killed our friend,
Hrant Dink. Our search for justice has been to no avail now, five
years after his death. The state to whom we sent a petition seeking
justice has sided with the killers. We have complaints about this,'
reads the letter, reports Today's Zaman.
