Kanal 24, a Turkish pro-government TV, has aired a new video where Ogün Samast, who was detained several days after murdering Istanbul Armenian journalist Hrant Dink in 2007, is seen being photographed with several police officers.

While being photographed with Samast, one policeman said: “Bravo, my lion! Pose well [for the camera]. Smile when being photographed.”

In the video, Ogün Samast is seen watching the moment when he murdered Dink. Subsequently, he said he waited for Dink two or three days, and when he saw him, he took out his gun and shot him.

Some of the police officers in this video have been arrested within the framework of the recent coup attempt in Turkey.

Hrant Dink was the founder and chief editor of Agos Armenian bilingual weekly of Istanbul. He was gunned down on January 19, 2007 in front of Agos’ then office in Istanbul.
