Police detains one person in relation to Dink murder

23 Feb. 2007 NTV-MSNBC

Anti-terror squad brought Veysel T. to an Istanbul court on Friday morning before being formally arrested.

Turkish police have detained another person in connection with the murder of Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink.

Authorities have only identified the man taken into custody Friday as Veysel T. He was reportedly detained due to his connection to Hayal Yasin, the man arrested on charges of being the mastermind behind Dink’s murder.

Prosecutors questioned Veysel T. before requesting the court to formally charge him over his involvement in the killing.

Dink was shot outside the offices of the Armenian language newspaper Argos on January 19.
