Turkish court has ordered to release the Turkish brothers, Orhan
Okumus and Baris Okumus, who are suspected of pushing an Armenian
woman to suicide, Ermenihaber.am news website reported.
Narine Lazarian, 24, Armenian citizen, moved to Turkey 4 years ago
for work. She was subjected to sexual blackmail by Orhan and Baris
and committed suicide.
A hearing on Narine Lazarian's suicide case has been held at Istanbul
Court of First Instance lately.
Narine's mother, Nune Lazarian, also attended the hearing. She told
the court that Narine had told her on the phone that the Turkish
brothers took nude photos of her and were blackmailing her. Narine's
co-workers confirmed that she had been blackmailed and had told them
she was going to commit suicide.
According to the source, at the end of the hearing the judge ruled
that the suspects should be released.
Narine lived in Istanbul's Kumapi district together with a brother
and a stepfather. She fell in love with Orhan, her neighbor, who
promised to marry her and took nude photos of her. Orhan's brother
later threatened the woman with showing the photos to her brother if
she disagreed to cohabit with him. As the family resided in Turkey
illegally, Narine could not turn to the police. She committed suicide
on February 28 by drinking poison.
