    A solitary-living Armenian woman (80) has been assaulted in Istanbul's
    Feriköy neighborhood - a reminder of assaults on elderly Armenian
    women in Samatya around December 2012.

    Last year's assaults resulted in the death of Maritsa Kucuk and several
    injuries among others. At the end of an investigation, police captured
    Murat Nazaryan in suspicion for perpetrating the assaults.

    According to an article by Uygar Gultekin on Agos.com.tr, Markırıt
    Camkosoglu (80) has been assault in he apartment in Feriköy's SavaÅ~_
    Street. Camkosoglu counted her story as follows:

    "On Saturday [August 17] I went to the supermarket. On my way back
    to my apartment, there was a man in the building. Moderate in height,
    he was a dark ugly one. He was standing by the staircase. I thought he
    was going upstairs. I don't know who the heck is ever visiting this
    massive building. As soon as I unlocked my front door, he assaulted
    me. I fell on the floor. He climbed on top of me and started hitting
    me in the head. He attempted to murder me. He didn't say a word to
    hide his identity. I had my purse on the table. There was 70 liras
    inside. He ran away with the purse. I have been living here for 50
    years and this kind of incident has never occurred me before. "

    The aggressor knew about entrance hours of building-dwellers,
    neighbors say. They express their concern, saying that the aggressor
    knew that she was living on her own and he chose the calmest hour of
    the building.

    Advocated previously demanded a broader investigation

    Previously, Murat Nazaryan has been arrested for perpetrating attack
    in Samatya around December 2012. Standing trial twice already,
    Nazaryan claimed that he didn't remember what happened. In response,
    Maritsa Kucuk's lawyers demanded the court panel to launch a broader
    investigation on the issue. (NV/BM)
