TURKISH PROSECUTOR'S OFFICE REFUSES TO LAUNCH INVESTIGATION AGAINST PERSON WHO THREATENED ISTANBUL-ARMENIAN FAMILY
- The prosecutor's office did not accept the petition submitted by the Istanbul Armenian E.A., who was threatened by his Turkish neighbor, an attorney by profession, following the February 26 anti-Armenian protest in Istanbul.
E.A. had gone to the Police and informed that an unidentified person had thrown a white hat cap into their yard on the evening of February 27. "In the morning I saw that it was written 'Do not remain silent against Armenian lies!' on the cap. There were caps with this inscription at the demonstration held in Istanbul on February 26. I checked my home security cameras and saw that the cap was thrown into our yard by our district's resident E.Y., who is the attorney of those people who earlier had threatened me on numerous occasions for being Armenian," noted the Istanbul Armenian, claiming that this cap is a clear threat against and a danger for his and his daughter's lives.
But the prosecutor's office did not accept the petition on the grounds that the aforesaid white cap is not a sufficient evidence to launch an investigation.
The Istanbul Armenian's legal representative said they will appeal this decision. "Why is it that video camera recordings are always considered evidence, but this time they were not evidence?", the attorney noted.
