ALMA Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 ISTANBUL, JUNE 13, NOYAN TAPAN. An argument started between 15-year-old Arthur M. and four Young Turks in Bakirkoy after the men disturbed Arthur and his girlfriend. The argument was followed by a scuffle, which resulted in the death of one person and 3 others injured. According to the evidence that Arthur and his girlfriend gave in the police station, those four men approached them in the street. “We came from Armenia to visit our realtives. We were kissing in the street when those 4 Young Turks started disturbing us. I went indoors and did not see how the argument ended,” Arthur’s girlfriend said. According to some information, while accompanying his girlfriend, Arthur kissed her outdoors which caused resentment of four young men standing nearby. They warned the couple that “they should not kiss in the street”. Arthur replied that no one has the right to interfere in their affairs. In response to these words, the 4 men - Ersoy Celik, 33, Salih Guler, 28, Nurettin Okutan, 35 and Ali Kemal Celikkal, 36, stated that “they are responsible for the honour of their district” and approached Arthur. The 15-year-old Arthur inflicted injuries on all 4 men with a knife. As a result, Ersoy Celik received a stab wound to the heart and died in hospital, while Salih Guler is still in a critical state. Arthur ran away but a short time later he was arrested by the police. There was no information about the nationality of Arthur and his girlfriend.

Aubépine Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 This is old news. About kissing girls it depends where you are when you do it. I'm not so sure about kissing men though. It depends how and in which neighbourhood you kiss those men if you want to see the very next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubépine Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 It pays when you are a minor if you kill someone in Turkey. He probably won't receive more than five years in prison I guess. The same goes for Hrant Dink's killer. He will be passing in and out of the prison door in no time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALMA Posted July 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If he is Armenian, he should not be in this topic "diaspora" If he was American of English, he would not have a knife in his pocket Artur is Armenian, he was attacked, and naturally he had to defend himself. I guess it would not be Armenian news had Artur been American/English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
