- The accused murderers of Hrant Dink, the editor of Agos Turkish-Armenian newspaper, will appear before the court for the fifth time 15 months after the murder.

It is established now that Yasin Hayal was under the surveillance of the Trabzon Police Department, a major province in the eastern Black Sea region of Turkey, BIA NEWS SERVICE reports. Dink family lawyers say that the killing of the journalist on January 19, 2007 is not “a murder planned together by a few young men and executed in spite of the authorities; they claim that the local security units supported this group.” Hrant Dink was gunned down at his newspaper premises in Istanbul by nationalist Ogun Samast on January 19, 2007.
