Two suspects in murder case of Armenian journalist Hrant Dink have been arrested in Trabzon.

The judges decided on the arrest of Osman Hayal and Zeynel Abidin Yavuz as they failed to appear before the court, Zaman reported.

On September 17, Istanbul 14th High Criminal Court began the trial into the killing of Hrant Dink after a decision by the Supreme Court of Appeals overturned the Istanbul court’s first ruling on the murder.

Chief editor of Agos newspaper Hrant Dink was killed in January 2007 by nationalist Ogun Samast.
