Taraf: Another execution of Hrant by TRT
`Another execution of Hrant by TRT,’ the headline of the daily’s top
story said yesterday, reporting that a documentary film broadcast by
the Turkish Radio and Television Corporation (TRT) on Wednesday night
showed slain Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink as one of the
individuals responsible for the MaraÅ? massacre, in which 111
Alevi citizens were killed in 1978. The top suspect in the massacre,
Ã-kkeÅ? Å?endiller of the Grand Unity Party (BBP), wa
shown in the documentary claiming that what happened in 1978 was not
an Alevi-Sunni conflict, but the work of Dink and his
friends. Å?endiller said organizations in which Dink and his
friends were members had carried out the massacre. The daily said
letting someone make such allegations about Dink on TRT was tantamount
to killing Dink once again because he had nothing to do with the
massacre.
