TURKEY TO GIVE A DIPLOMATIC NOTE TO SWITZERLAND

Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) will give a diplomatic note
to Switzerland for detention of Labor Party (IP) leader Dogu Perincek.
Namik Tan, spokesman of the MFA, said that Turkey’s attitude would
depend on the move of the Swiss prosecutor. Perincek was detained in
Winterthur city of Switzerland last week since he said, ”Armenian
genocide is nothing but an international lie” at a news conference.
He was released after being interrogated.
