March 03, 2014 | 13:27
Turkey's opposition Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) MP, historian
Yusuf Halacoglu stated that Erhan Tuncel, who was accused of prompting
the murder of Hrant Dink--founder and chief editor of Agos Armenian
weekly of Istanbul, who was killed on January 19, 2007 in front of
the weekly's office--, is Armenian.
Halacoglu, who is known for his statements denying the Armenian
Genocide, claimed that Tuncel, who is in prison at present, is from
Temte village of Turkey's Elazig [Kharberd, in Armenian] Province,
and he is of Armenian descent, reports Cihan news agency of Turkey.
"For this reason, it should be taken under consideration the fact
that an Armenian has had a role in the killing of an Armenian. Now,
I'm not saying its significance, but this should be taken seriously,"
Yusuf Halacoglu noted.
