Dink murder real instigators won't be captured as long as Ergenekon leaders remain free

PanARMENIAN.Net - Hrant Dink's family lawyer Fethiye Cetin said many suspects in the Ergenekon investigation were active in the Dink murder plot.



"The Ergenekon gang is a deep organization and as long as the true leaders remain free, the real instigators of Dink's murder will never be captured," she told Hurriyet Daily News



Describing her last meeting with Dink on Jan. 15, 2007, Cetin said, "That day I first realized that he was worried. He had not taken the threats too seriously until then but letter from Eskisehir threatening his son Arad and Agos employee Sarkis Seropyan had scared him."



Cetin said she believes that if Dink had not been murdered, he would have moved overseas for a while.



Hrant Dink, the editor of Agos Turkish-Armenian newspaper, was fatally shot outside his office by an ultranationalist teenager Ogun Samast in January 19, 2007.



The Dink murder trial opened in Istanbul on July 2. 19 people, mostly ultranationalists from Trabzon, were charged in connection with the journalist's assassination.



The Dink family lawyers insist that the murder was committed with the connivance of police.
