He was paid to do it I'm sure. I doubt very much he acted alone.

That was also reported in the Independent yesterday that he was "recruited" to do it.

The bitter irony is that the Dink never said "Turkish blood is dirty". In the article for which he was convicted, he had exhorted Armenians to "purify their blood of hatred for the Turks". In court Dink maintained that it was "a call for peace", but nationalists bent on punishing him for his prominence insisted that he was guilty. The garbling of his words in the media made his personal situation, in a country which, despite its size and growing wealth, remains morbidly sensitive to humiliation, increasingly perilous.

Six other suspects were arrested at the same time as Mr Samast and were being questioned in Istanbul yesterday. Minors are often employed as hit-men in Turkey because they are interrogated by public prosecutors instead of police and minors' courts tend to hand out milder sentences

In Dutch newspapers was said that Ogun Samast was paid and set up by an ultra-nationalist called Yasin Hayal, who was guilty of a bomb at McDonalds in Trabzon some years ago. Anyone who can confirm this from a Turkish newspaper?

His name is Yasin Hayal. He allegedly supplied the gun and the payment to te shooter. Hayal spent "only 11 months" in jail for bombing a McDonalds in Trabzon a few years ago.

news lies and flies, and it is not fair to make judgement... he's simply a teenager who made a mistake on an implanted false idea on his fellow citizen of older and more wiser sense than him. take as a kid who rebels against his dad due to bad influence from his teenage friends... let's see what the REAL news is and what goes on and what the trials outcomes in. then we can say what we thought abou it instead of saying who u think was behind it. If you know, plz do report to the nearest police department otherwise just keep it to ur self and stop accusing others. hell, it might even be the CIA

i agree that news never shows the true story..but to compare this to teenage rebellion....i don't think they compare..and whether the CIA or some1 else told him to do it doesn't alter the fact that he did it..
if i told a 16yr old to shoot some1 n gave them a gun it would still make them at fault as well myself...
