New suspects arrested for journalist's deathPosted Feb 25 2007
New suspects were arrested for the death of Argos editor Hrant Dink, 53, who was killed on Jan. 19. Dink previously faced prosecution for challenging the official Turkish version of the Armenian genocide. Police detained five radical Turkish nationalists including suspected shooter, Ogun Samast, 17. All five detainees are from Trabzon, a fact that has convinced conspiracy theorists in the unofficial capital of Turkey’s eastern Black Sea coastal region that this is part of a threatening plan. Trabzon has become a hub of Turkish Nationalism and has many faced violence-related issues.
