ISTANBUL – Labor Party (IP) leader Dogu Perincek left for Switzerland
on Saturday to give testimony in Lausanne Prosecutor’s Office.
Prior to his departure, Perincek told reporters, “I will give testimony
at 9.00 a.m. on September 20th.”
Perincek reminded, “when an investigation was opened against Turkish
Institute of History (TTK) Chairman Prof. Dr. Yusuf Halacoglu,
I went to Switzerland and told reporters that so-called Armenian
genocide allegations are nothing but lie. Accusation about me stems
from this statement.”
“I am very pleased that such investigations are opened because the
opportunities to show realities increase,” he added.
“Our struggle will continue until Swiss Parliament abolishes the
resolution which recognizes so-called Armenian genocide. We will
violate this inquisition decision again. Tomorrow we will give a
conference in Switzerland about Armenian issue. We are establishing
a defense line for Turkey in Europe,” he said.
Perincek said, “I am taking English, German and French publications
with me which show realities about Armenian issue. I will show these
documents during my meetings there. Also I will put them in court
files. I will submit them to prosecutor’s office because they do not
know realities. This is a prejudice and we will destroy it.”
