IN WORDS OF EYE-WITNESS, SECOND PERSON TOOK PART IN DINK’S MURDER
ANKARA, JANUARY 29, NOYAN TAPAN. There are obscure questions so far
within the framework of the investigation carried on in connection
with the murder of Agos newspaper’s editor-in-chief Hrant
Dink. According to Radikal newspaper, nearly two hours after the
murder an eye-witness being on the scene provided a very important
information by live broadcast: "There was a second participant, too."
According to the eye-witness, on January 29, the day of Hrant Dink’s
murder, he heard a shot when walking towards Osmanbey: "Turning left I
stood straight in front of the assassin. When walking he started to
smile but not at me but at a second person waiting for him at a corner
near the avenue, he as if wanted to say: "I did it." The shooting man
walked towards that man. And when he came up to him they walked
towards the street in silence. The avenue was almost empty at that
time, there were only three people. Seeing them a woman screamed and
when they started to run she even tried to run after them. After the
woman’s scream the avenue became full of police cars. It was 14:57…"
The incident’s eye-witness told this at a special report two hours
after the incident. He expressed his anxiety about the incident and
said: "The Police have not looked for me so far. And if indeed this
was organized by an organization and if they try to liquidate
me… Are the Police waiting for this? I cannot go out to the street."
