"Hrant Dink's murderer has been detained and will be prosecuted. Nevertheless, I'd like to underline several moments: according to the reports of Turkish Media, Ogun Samast is a member of radical organization "Universal Order", which is a part of mass movement of Turkish 'ideologists' also known as 'Grey Wolves'. They have separated from the mother group and pay more attention to Islam," said specialist in Turkic philology Ruben Safrastyan, the head of Oriental Studies Institute of the RA NAS (National Academy of Sciences), during an interview to the PanARMENIAN.Net journalist. In his words, the organization has already committed several terror acts in Trabzon: a murder of a catholic priest, a blast in "Macdonald's". "It is a part of such organizations, which have ties with pan-Turkism parties of "Great Unity", though its leader Muhsin Yazıcıoğlu, by all means keeps himself away from it. The peculiarity of pan-Turkism parties in Turkey is that they have branchy net of youth organizations in the whole country and the members after corresponding ideological and military trainings join the organization. Alongside, investigators, as far as I know, exclude any version of participation by any extremist group to this crime," underscored Ruben Safrastyan.
