According to Aksam, the Swiss Senate decided over the weekend not
to debate the so-called Armenian genocide issue. The Senate Foreign
Relations Committee voted against considering the issue in the full
Senate, saying that the issue should instead be discussed between
Turkey and Armenia. Peter Briner, head of the committee, said that
the third countries should not point the finger at Turkey 90 years
after the events. Briner also said that Turkey has to look into
the Armenian issue if it wants to join the European Union, though
Switzerland itself is not a member of the bloc.
