Istanbul-APA. Trial on the murder of Armenian-published Agos
newspaper’s editor Hrant Dink was continued in Istanbul on Monday. APA
quotes the Turkish news agencies as saying that Ogun Samast and Erhan
Tuncel accused in the murder gave funny testimony in the court.
Other charged Yasin Hayal’s lawyer Fuad Turgut asked questions to
Samast and Tuncel at the process held publicly for the first time. He
reminded Tuncel about his frequently visits to his girlfriend in
Eskishehir and asked she was Israeli or not. Tuncel was angry and said:
"I don’t answer this question because it is against our traditions. Do
I ask you about your wife?" Then he said that his girlfriend was a
daughter of Israeli President. Lawyer Turgut said Samast received
two phone calls in front of the Agos newspaper’s office and one
of the calls was from the former Zaman reporter and present Agos
editor-in-chief Etienne Mahchupian. At this time Samast replied:
"No, Jennifer Lopez called me that time". Hayal leaving the court
room under the police convoy cried: "Long live Great Union Party!"
