Article Abstract:

Ahmet Necdet Sezer, the President of Turkey, has linked the killing of Necip Hablemitoglu, an history lecturer at the University of Ankara, to his research into radical Islamic groups. Hablemitoglu, who was regarded as a staunch advocate of Turkey?s secular state, was gunned down in front of his own home by unknown assailants before Christmas 2002. Sezer stated that the killing was obviously an act of terror and that he believed it to be a political crime.
