ISTANBUL. – Erhan Tuncel, justified for the Armenian Agos newspaper chief editor Hrant Dink murder case, has disclosed new details about the assassination.

In an interview with Turkish Star newspaper Tuncel insisted Ergenekon has connection to the murder.  

Tuncel claimed that Ergenekon defendants visited Yasin Hayal, organizer of Dink’s murder, who was at that time in prison for the McDonald’s explosion. Moreover, the idea of killing Dink came to Hayal’s head when he was in jail.  

“Why didn’t the six police agents of the Trabzon gendarmerie stand a trial? Dink murder case will not be disclosed until Resat Altay, former gendarmerie head sheds light on everything,” Tuncel said stressing that many police officers must reveal the facts of the murder case.  

To note, Erhan Tuncel was found not guilty on Dink case and instead was sentenced to 10,5 years’ imprisonment for an explosion in  McDonald’s. However, the court has set him free taking into account that he had already served his term being in custody.
