PanARMENIAN.Net – From the judicial perspective, Turkish-Armenian
journalist Hrant Dink’s murder investigation turned into a mere farce,
with all of the legal norms violated, Turkologist Ruben Melkonyan
said.
`Though the Turkish authorities repeatedly pledged to take every step
to disclose the case, a number of high-ranking officials, accomplices
in the crime, continued with their duty,’ the expert said.
`From the political perspective, the Turkish state organized,
committed and further concealed Dink’s assassination,’ Mr Melkonyan
said, adding that the journalist’s murder helped the Turkish public
adopt a standpoint on Armenians different from the government’s
thesis.
`Dink aimed to introduce a change in Turkish mentality. Now we see
that the goals he pursued are being fulfilled,’ he said.
