Dink's Murder Suspect Named and Caught- Ogun Samast

According to the BBC News Online, Hrant Dink's murder suspect has been named and caught. Interestingly enough, Ogun Samasts' father identified him from a CCTV tape. You can catch the story here.
While it remains to be seen if Samast is indeed the killer, I hope the Turkish government realizes that they have the world watching how they conduct the capture and prosecution of the person who committed this barbaric crime. And this time, the stakes are very high for them to do the right thing. There should be some links on the BBC website to some news stories on Hrant Dink, including updates on the situation.

Meanwhile, the government of Armenia has rightfully chimed in condemning the act. The Mayor or Istanbul is stating that Dink didn't request formal "protection" when made aware of the death threats. Instead, he was given "general protection". That sounds fishy to me given Dink stated in his columns that he had made the authorities aware of the threats against him.

If you want a great roundup of what the Turkish reaction has been to Dink's assassination, go to Onnik's website at www.oneworld.am/blog to catch his compilations and commentary.
