New Evidence Stalls Murder Trial in Malatya, Turkey
It has been three years since the brutal murders of three Turkish Christians who worked in a publishing house, that made international news. Ugur Yüksel (pictured), Necati Aydin and German Christian Tilmann Geske were mercilessly murdered and just recently Turkey had a day of prayer for Turkey, on April 18th as they remembered the anniversary of their deaths.
Unfortunately, there is new evidence that is stalling the murder trial in Malatya, Turkey. Here's some news from Compass Direct...
At Thursday’s hearing,
prosecuting lawyers presented a 28-page detailed request that the
Malatya case be joined to a plot called Cage Plan, believed to be part
of Ergenekon, a “deep state” operation to destabilize the
government led by a cabal of retired generals, politicians and other key
figures.
The Cage Plan centers on a compact disc found a
year ago in the house of a retired naval officer. The plan, to be
carried out by 41 named naval officers, termed as “operations” the
murders of the three Christians in Malatya, the 2006 assassination of
Catholic priest Andreas Santoro and the 2007 slaying of Hrant Dink,
Armenian editor-in-chief of the weekly Agos. The aim of the
Cage Plan was to destabilize the government by showing its inability to
protect Turkey’s minority groups. Read more at Compass Direct.
