Members of European Parliament have declared they are disappointed
with a Turkish court verdict on Hrant Dink’s, editor-in-Chief of
“Agos” daily, murder case, Turkish “Sondakika.com” reported.
Ria Oomen-Ruijten, European Parliament’s rapporteur on Turkey, said
in Brussels that Turkey had failed a favorable chance.
“It’s evident that Turkey’s judicial system definitely needs reforms.
European Parliament thinks that the situation is really shameful.”
English MP Andrew Duff said he knew Hrant Dink, who was a great man.
“I had a chance to meet him several times. It’s shameful after so many
years of the murder; the case hasn’t been completely investigated and
condemned. Advanced and liberal lawyers say the country’s judicial
system needs serious reforms. Ruling “Justice and development party”
is uncertain with it. They are committed to reforms but are not
committed to react quickly.”
