In the hearing at Ankara 4th Heavy Penal Court, fugitive defendant Ömer Deniz Dündar continued his defence. Dündar said he held the explosives belt for assistance purposes.
YENİ Party leader Özgür Özel, DİSK leader Özlem Çerkezoğlu and KESK leader Ayfer Koçak were in the courtroom. He claimed the fingerprint in the vehicle could not be his and that he was not in the country at that date.
