Politics: First time a Turkish political figure denying the Armenian Genocide was found guilty in SwitzerlandAlthough the Armenian Genocide is not included by the International Court in the official list of the crimes alike, it is a historical fact and Perincek's announcements are considered to be mere provocation. March 10, 2007 The Swiss court found the Turkish militant leader Dogu Perincek guilty of denying the Armenian genocide. Turkish Workers' Party leader Dogu Perincek received a suspended jail sentence of 90 days or an equivalent fine from a Lausanne Court as well as a fine of 3,000 Swiss francs (2,500 dollars). In case of one more denial of the Armenian Genocide Perincek may be sent to prison.  |
