YEREVAN. – By sentencing the murderer of Hrant Dink Ogun Samast, Turkish authorities sentenced him only for having perpetrated the crime, Armenian scientist for Turkish studies Artak Shakaryan told at a press conference on Thursday.

It is necessary to reveal those who ordered the murder. Besides, there are other persons to be accused in the crime. Among them are policemen who were aware of the impending crime, Shakaryan stressed.

“Sentencing Samast does not mean to solve the issue,” he stated and added that Turkish media undertake attempts of emotional impact.

In particular, they reported that a “child was sentenced” refering to the murderer.

Editor-in-chief of Agos newspaper, an ethnic Armenian Hrant Dink, was murdered on January 19 in 2007.
