PanARMENIAN.Net – A military court in Turkish southeastern province
of Diyarbakýr has agreed to try the commander of slain ethnic Armenian
soldier Sevag Þahin Balýkcý, Nouvelles d’Armenie reports.
Non-commissioned officer Sabrettin Ersoz will stand trial on
malpractice charges.
Sevag Þahin Balýkcý, 25, was killed in a Turkish military unit on April
24, 2011. The Armenian was killed after the gunshot wound he received
while reportedly playing a practical joke with his co-serviceman,
who was later allowed to walk free despite the indictment stipulating
for 9 years behind bars for murder by negligence.
