Turkey - Anger in Istanbul over Hrant Dink murder trial

http://www.euronews.net/ Demonstrators in Istanbul marched in anger over the conviction of a second man for the killing, five years ago of a prominent Turkish-Armenian journalist.

The family of Hrant Dink denounced the verdict, arguing the murder was a political assassination.

Nineteen other defendants, known to be Turkish nationalists were acquitted of being members of a terrorist organisation.

One protester said: "This case is a disaster.Those who committed this organised crime were dealt with as if it was just an ordinary murder."
