Dink murder case deliberately protracted

PanARMENIAN.Net - The legal procedure on Hrant Dink's assassination is being constantly protracted, said the editor of the Armenian sector of Agos newspaper.



"All we have now is the accused and his several accomplices," Bagrat Estukyan told a news conference in Yerevan today.



"Every time the judge postpones the hearings for a long period, obviously to leave the things as they are," he said. "Dink's murder shocked Turkey. People understood that Dink was assassinated for being an Armenian. Dink was the first who was prosecuted under the article 301."



Mr. Estukyan informed that Agos editorial staff still receives offences and threats.



"A group of lawyers work in the office to deal with these threatening messages," he said.
