Turkish authorities have praised Bahattin Hayal, the father of Hrant
Dink’s assassination chief suspect Yasin Hayal, for growing up a great
son; “Ermenihaber.am” news agency quotes Bahattin Hayal as saying.

“They told me I’ve grown up a son the country deserves,” Yasin Hayal’s
father told journalists after a general hearing in Istanbul.

Bahattin Hayal was committed to deliver a speech in the court, but
he wasn’t allowed to. He said he had informed the judges in Trapizon,
but they forced them to change his testimony.

Yasin Hayal is arrested for urging Ogyun Samast to kill Hrant Dink.
