An Istanbul court ruled that Ogun Samast, the primary suspect in the assassination of journalist Hrant Dink, is to be tried in a juvenile court, CNNTurk broadcasted Monday.The court based its decision on grounds that Samast was under the age of 18 at the time of the assassination. This means that 5 years of imprisonment will be reduced from whatever sentence he receives. Hrant Dink, a Turkish journalist of Armenian descent and the editor-in-chief of the daily Agos, was murdered in front of his newspaper's office in Istanbul in January 2007.
