Dink’s brother Orhan Dink responded to the promotion of the policeman, who is in photo with Ogun Samast, murderer of Hrant Dink.

Orhan Dink stated that they consider the promotion as unserious. The policeman was appointed deputy chief of police in Malatya (Hrant Dink’s birthplace) for his good job, Turkish Radikal reports.

The photo, picturing the policeman, Samast and the Turkish flag, appeared in media outlets. A lawsuit was filed against Yakup Kurtaran but he just paid a small fine.

Turkish Supervisory Board report also paid attention to the fact that the policemen in a photo with the murderer are still unpunished.
