An Istanbul court on Wednesday handed down heavy jail terms to three people in connection with the 2007 killing of a prominent Armenian-Turkish journalist, a judicial source said.
Erhan Tuncel got a jail term of 99-and-half years, Ogun Samast two-and-half years and Yasin Hayal was sentenced to seven-and-half years in prison over the murder of Hrant Dink.
