The court found the Turkish state guilty on two charges, sentencing the state to pay 133,595 euros to Dink’s family in compensation and an extra payment of 28,595 euros to the court for expenditures.
Turkish-Armenian journalist, chief editor of Agos newspaper Hrant Dink was assassinated in Istanbul in January 2007, by a Turkish nationalist.
