Expert: Dink’s murder committed and concealed by Turkish govt.January 19, 2013 - 17:18 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - From the judicial perspective, Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink’s murder investigation turned into a mere farce, with all of the legal norms violated, Turkologist Ruben Melkonyan said. “Though the Turkish authorities repeatedly pledged to take every step to disclose the case, a number of high-ranking officials, accomplices in the crime, continued with their duty,” the expert said. “From the political perspective, the Turkish state organized, committed and further concealed Dink’s assassination,” Mr Melkonyan said, adding that the journalist’s murder helped the Turkish public adopt a standpoint on Armenians different from the government’s thesis. “Dink aimed to introduce a change in Turkish mentality. Now we see that the goals he pursued are being fulfilled,” he said.
