The Armenian community of Istanbul has become a hostage in the hands of the authorities and the official propaganda

PanARMENIAN.Net - According to the Spanish magazine El Pais, the given process will reveal the objectiveness of the Turkish court. The New York Times confirms that this investigation may not be just because of the great interest and popularity it enjoys. In its turn the French Le Monde reminds that the police was well aware of the fact that the crime was being organized, however nothing was done to prevent it.

As for the police, it has already disseminated information according to which Yasin Hayal, who is suspected in instigation of the murder of Hrant Dink, is the founder of the grouping which aimed at organizing Dink's murder. In the report of the General Security management of Turkey it is mentioned that Hayal established the grouping after being released from prison, where he had been taken for the organized blast in McDonalds in Trabzon. Yasin Hayal accused Dink of "insult to Turkishness", by the way, Hayal accuses the Nobel Prize laureate Orhan Pamuk of the same, who almost right after Dink's murder left Turkey.

According to Anatolia News Agency Hayal has been the leader of the grouping, where the suspect involved himself. The report is referred to felony crime court with documents about terrorist organization, the leader of which supposedly were the suspects Yasin Hayal and Erhan Tunjel. The truth is though, that it was mentioned in the report that the latter had nothing in common with Hayal's grouping. After Dink's murder it was discovered that Tunjel had several times informed the police about the imminent attack on Dink, though the police naturally didn't pay or didn't want to pay any attention to it. Nevertheless, the Court of Istanbul, which held the first hearings of Dink's case on July 2, decided to expand the framework of the investigation and blamed the officials for negligence. In the result of the 12-hour hearing the Court released 4 of the 18 suspects, as well as put off the session till October 1. "The police of Istanbul and Trabzon are responsible for the grave mistakes and in fact for the deliberate negligence," announced the advocate of Dink's family Ergin Cinmen. Meanwhile more than 1000 people gathered in front of the Court on July 2, where the judicial process had begun. All of them carried posters which said; "We are all Armenians", "We are all Dinks", "We are all witnesses and we demand justice". According to Anatolia News Agency the participants of the demonstration signed below a document about establishing a Coordinating Council to observe the judicial process. Hrant Dink's widow, Rakel Dink, expressed her appreciation to all those present, who greeted her with cheers as she headed to the Court.

In her speech Rakel Dink spoke about the destiny of the Armenian Nation of Turkey, and especially about the Armenian Community of Istanbul, which has become a hostage in the hands of the authorities and the official propaganda. "For Turkey Armenian and criminal, or Armenian and a second class person are synonymous. We have no freedom of speech. The history of the Armenian annihilation in Turkey traces back to 1915 and continues up to present. Dink's murder is just a single example of the annihilation and pursuit of the Armenian Nation in Turkey," she emphasized.
