Sevket Kazan, Deputy of the Saadet Party (SP) of Turkey, argued that the CIA and Mossad planned and organized the murder of Armenian Turkish journalist Hrant Dink. "The boys were used in Trabzon and in Sisli attacks and murders, but the real murderer are the CIA and the Mossad" he said. Sevket Kazan further continued in his Diyarbakir speech: "Armenian journalist Hrant Dink is a victim of an assassination. Of course, it is an event to be condemned.... Both a priest in Trabzon and Dink were killed by boys under 18. The CIA and the Mossad are behind all these murders, yet they use domestic tools for these crimes. Their main aim is to destabilize Turkey."
