DINK'S ASSASSIN HAD CONNECTIONS WITH ERGENEKON - PAPER

Turkish nationalist Erhan Tuncel, a suspect in Turkish-Armenian
journalist Hrant Dink's murder case, has unveiled new details of the
plot after being detained and subsequently released by a court ruling.
He has recommended studying the list of those who visited the
perpetrator, Yasin Hayal, in prison. According to the Turkish
newspaper Radikal, Tuncel suspected Hayal of having connections with
the ultra-nationalist organization Ergenekon.
Tuncel, who was released from jail 19 days ago, was quoted as telling
Star newspaper on Sunday that Hayal did not have any intent to kill
Dink before being detained over a bomb plot in a Trabzon McDonalds. He
was reportedly taken to a psychiatric hospital from prison cell,
but the court never had any access to the list of people who visit
him in that period.
According to the Turkish paper, the plaintiffs in the Dink
assassination trial demanded that retired General Veli Kucuk, who is
now in detention over the Ergenekon plot, visited Hayal in prison.
Tuncel further claimed that Yasin often visited the Trabzon police.
If the then chief of police, Rechad Altay, fails to give any
explanation in court, Dink's murder will be never resolved because
he followed Hayal together with the local intelligence officers for
seven months running, says the paper.
