Turkish Police Knew About the Planning of the Murder of Hrant Dink
Ramazan Akyürek, the responsible chief of the secret service in the city of Trabzon, warned the police in Istanbul about the threat against Hrant Dink.
The city of Trabzon, which lies at the coast of the Black Sea, is associated with several attacks against Christians, among others Andrea Santoro, who was murdered by a 16-year old boy on January 5th 2006.
With a letter Ramazan Akyürek requested the police in Istanbul to take measures to prevent a possible attack against Hrant Dink. According to information that was presented during the trial, the Istanbul police chose to not take the warnings seriously and that they did not take any measures.
The police officer Muhittin Zenit, who signed the letter that was sent to the Istanbul police, stated during the trial that they had done everything they could, but that it was the Istanbul police which had not done their job.
