Turkish Prime Minsiter Recep Tayyip Erdogan allowed launching an investigation into the killing of Hrant Dink, chief editor of Armenian-Turkish Agos daily.

An investigation was launched against two employees of national security service, Turkish Radikal newspaper reported.

The prosecutor’s office of Ankara appealed for permission last year but received it only now.

A week prior to his death Hrant Dink wrote that he was invited to Istanbul administration on February 4, 2004 where a man and a woman threatened him.

Reason for threats was one of Dink’s publications saying Sabiha Gercen, daughter adopted by Ataturk, was Armenian. One of those threatening Hrant Dink was Ozel Yilmaz, employee of Turkish intelligence agency.
