The Turkish prosecutor who appealed the ruling in the Hrant Dink murder trial has claimed that the individuals standing trial in the case had connections with the Kemalist ultranationalist organization Ergenekon.
In a 30-page appeal, Hikmet Usta said that the defendants – Erhan Tuncel and Yasin Hayal – were the chiefs of the Trapizon-based terrorist group.
Samast, who was a minor at the time of committing the murder, was a member of the group and received the instruction to assassin the Armenian-Turkish journalist from its top figures.
He claimed that the court had not given a due attention to his connections with Ergenekon and failed to establish accountability measures against individuals also thought to be responsible for the murder.
