Family of killed Armenian soldier Sevak Sahin Balrkci was taken to the
military unit where the tragic incident occurred.

Sevak’s mother met with Kvanc Agaoglu, the man who killed her son. She
only asked why he had done it, fainted and was taken out of the room.
`What can I say?’ Kvanc said.

Kvanc was first released but was later arrested by military court. In
his testimony Kvanc said he was on good terms with Sevak. `On that day
we were joking all the time. Barrel was directed to the sky. When I
bent over there was a shot. First I did not notice that Sevak was
affected I thought he is joking,’ he said.

One of witnesses Fazla Keskin told that hearing the shot Sevak said:
`What have you done? Kvanc, help me.’

Technical University. He served in the military unit of the
gendarmerie in Kozluk district of Batman province. He would have
discharged from the army in 23 days. Gendarmerie stated he was killed
from gunshot wounds, while playing with a gun with his friend on April
24 However, Sevak’s parents do not believe in it and demand a thorough
investigation of his death.
