Hrant Dink murdered

Re: Turkish-Armenian Journalist Hrant Dink Shot Dead In Istanbul

From BBC news:

"The authorities in Turkey say they have identified the chief suspect in the murder of Hrant Dink, a prominent journalist of Armenian descent. The suspect, named as Ogun Samast, was reportedly identified by his father who saw his picture on television and then informed the police."

Somehow I don't believe that his father would go to the police... They have a clear shot of the ugly guy's face, so it wouldn't be that hard to find him. The police probably went round to their house and said is this your son and he probably said yes.

He died a tragic death. He could have, perhaps, avoided it ? He had been receiving death threats for the las two years ? Two long years ? He should have left Turkey following the threats. Like Pamuk, who lives in Switzerland.
A martyr for the cause.

i'm not surprised that it happened as I could sense something like this was going to happen one day as things are starting to get heated up more than ever. This event also shows that Turks are starting to 'crack' because they know that things are turning against them such as the democrats taking over congress and Turkey entering the EU and the increasing number of countries and individuals coming out with the truth.

However, I'm sure people in Turkey are surprised as they are the ones who go on about how they are such caring people and love Armenians and treat them so well and everything and they use this excuse against us when trying to deny the genocide in order to make them look like they never did anything back then. Well this just shows them that they chat xxxx. The only reason Armenians in Turkey may get on well with Turks in Turkey is because they shut their mouths and get on with their lives. If they didn't do this and were open about everything, then what happened to Hrant Dink is what would happen to them eventually. So if you think about it, Turkey hasn't really changed in the last 100 years.

Another thing that I would like to mention is about the US recognizing the genocide. I see a lot of us are over confident that it will get recognized this year because of change of house speaker etc.. But, how about if Turks start sending death threats to US politicians? Will they still go ahead with the recognition, or will they be too scared and not do it? We will only see in the last days or minutes before they do the vote or whatever it is that they do.

Re: Turkish-Armenian Journalist Hrant Dink Shot Dead In Istanbul

now i'm reading that they have arrested the main suspect:

"The governor of Istanbul said police captured Ogun Samast on a bus in the Black Sea port city of Samsun".

and he was born in 1990 so that makes him 16/17 years old if its correct.

Who's they? The Turkish government? The government doesn't have the right to bury him. The family does. Now if the family decides to do that that'll be horrible.
