The four-year trial for the murder of editor-in-chief of the Armenian-Turkish newspaper “Agos” is now over. The Turkish court sentenced Dink’s murderer Ogun Samast to almost 23 years of imprisonment. Samast was originally given a life sentence, but the term was immediately reduced to 21.5 years, taking into account the fact that at the time of the crime Samast was a minor. Another sixteen months he will be in jail for illegal possession of a weapon.
