During the trial 's ninth hearing on November 5 , 2012 , defense lawyer İbrahim Gök requested a media ban on all further hearings . Prosecuting attorney Cem Halavurt rejected the proposal stating that " '' If there is a press ban in this court , will Turkey stop talking about the Armenian issue ? Or will people not talk about deaths in the army ? This is why we demand that the press ban be overruled . Even if we do n't like certain thoughts , we should treat them as part of free speech in a democratic society . '' " İbrahim Gök claimed that the trial was becoming " politicized " and that the case has nothing to do with the events of 1915 ( referring to the Armenian Genocide ) . The request for a press ban was rejected
