Turkish Parliament’s (TBMM) Committee to Investigate the Human Rights
announced that they have not completed the subcommittee report for
the murder of Hrant Dink, founder and chief editor of Armenian-Turkish
weekly Agos, who was killed on January 19, 2007.

Mehmet Ocaktan, head of the subcommittee and Bursa deputy for the
Justice and Development Party (AKP) stated that some media groups
published reports implying the committee report was completed.

Ocaktan said their report was not finished yet, they were still working
on it and they were planning to announce it when it was completed.

The sixth hearing for Dink’s murder case at Istanbul’s 14th High
Criminal Court was held on July 7. The court had decided to continue
keeping 8 suspects under arrest, but denied the demand that the Trabzon
Gendarmerie case for misconduct in Dink’s murder combined with the
principal trial for Dink’s murder case in Istanbul. (NZ/EZO/TB)

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
