Testimony of Turkish General May Shed Light on Dink Murder

15:22, June 9, 2012

A top Turkish general, now under arrest in the Ergenokon coup plot, has been summoned to testify in the 2007 murder of three Christian missionaries in Malatya, according to a Hurriyet news report.

Five young men, who confessed to the crime, were later arrested. But according Erdal Doğan, a lawyer in the case, the testimony of General Hurşit Tolon might shed light on the case ad point to a "deep state" action rather than a mere group of religious fanatics.

Doğan, who is also a family attorney for the family of murdered Armenian journalist Hrant Dink, said this step would contribute to moving forward in other cases as well.
