Dink murder fee was $120?March 1, 2011 - 13:14 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The suspect in Hrant Dink murder, Ogun Samast, told a court session that Yasin Hayal [the alleged instigator of the murder] gave him 180 Turkish liras ($120), a gun and photo of Dink. “But I do not why I killed him,” Samast said. “I forgot everything.

So, I will answer the court’s question if you read my previous testimony,” he added, CNN-Turk reported. Hrant Dink, the editor-in-chief of Agos Armenian-Turkish weekly, was shot dead in front of his newspaper office in January 2007.
