    Prosecutor demands up to six years for Turkish-Armenian soldier's
    murder suspect

    DÄ°YARBAKIR ` DoÄ?an News Agency

    A Diyarbakır military prosecutor has demanded two to six years for a
    suspect private charged with `murder with conscious negligence,' in
    the murder case of Sevag Balıkçı, a Turkish-Armenian soldier who was
    killed in suspicious circumstances while performing his military
    service in 2011.

    The Diyarbakır Air Force Command Military Court continued the trial of
    suspect Kıvanç AÄ?aoÄ?lu on charges of murder, and of non-commissioned
    officer Sabrettin Ersöz for `abuse of office through negligence,' on
    Feb 28.

    Cem Halavut, the Balıkçı family's lawyer, said the witness testimonies
    should be given one more time as they conflicted each other, and added
    that the investigation should be expanded. However, the court board
    denied his demands.

    Sevag Balıkçı's father, Garabet, and mother, Ani Balıkçı, also
    attended the hearing.

    Balıkçı was shot in a gendarmerie station in Batman province by
    another soldier, Kıvanç AÄ?aoÄ?lu, with whom he was performing his
    military service. The incident took place on April 24, 2011, the same
    date as Armenians mark the anniversary of the events of 1915.
