    Murder Of Ethnic Armenian Woman, And Silence Of Relevant Bodies - Agos Paper's Editor On Attack Of Armenian Women

    The murder of 85-year-old ethnic Armenian woman in Turkey was presented
    as a regular murder while the Armenian community in Turkey is rather
    concerned as the details of the case have not been unveiled and the
    relevant bodies have not spoken up, Istanbul-based Armenian-Turkish
    Agos weekly's editor, Rober Koptas writes.

    "The murder of Maritsa Kucuk, from the first glance could have
    been viewed as a regular case in Turkey - breaking into a house,
    slashing the throat and stealing some jewelry. The police have started
    investigation. The family is in pain. This was the only information.

    The journalists closed the topic and the officials continue keeping
    silence," Koptas, ethnic Armenian, wrote.

    The editor though reminds that it is the second attack on the ethnic
    Armenian woman in Istanbul's Samatya district. "The recent case is
    already the second case of the attack of ethnic Armenian woman in a
    month and for a small number of people knowing about it the murder
    of Maritsa Kucuk was quite alarming and the possible connection of
    these two cases is terrifying.

    The other woman was 87 years old resident of Samatya district. The
    woman has lost the sight on one eye.

    "Maritsa Kucuk's murder reminded all the Armenians living in Istanbul
    the previous attack. During the same month, in the same district two
    Armenian women were attacked, one of them murdered, the other losing
    an eye. Besides, Kucuk's son who found the body of his mother said
    a cross was made on her body with a knife," the Agos editor wrote,
    adding that the son though earlier said probably it was not cross.

    The incident raised a question among 50,000 Armenians living in
    Istanbul whether the women were attacked because of their ethnic
    belonging.

    Rober Koptas has addressed few questions, saying that the Armenian
    community is expecting to get answers to them. Among these questions
    are whether there was a cross on Maritsa Kucuk's body, whether the
    attacks on the two ethnic Armenian women are just a coincidence,
    whether the robbery is the cause of the attack, and if so why the
    attacks were so violent. The police told Kucuk family that the attack
    was committed by amateurs and the arrest of the criminal is a matter
    of minutes. Kopsar reminded that earlier an Armenian woman beaten
    by a taxi driver applied to the police and the latter said that the
    arrest of the taxi driver was a matter of minutes while 15 months
    have passed and the person has not been arrested yet.
