ANKARA: Swiss Prosecutor Asks 6 Months For Perincek Over ‘Genocide’D

SWISS PROSECUTOR ASKS 6 MONTHS FOR PERINCEK OVER ‘GENOCIDE’ DENIAL

The New Anatolian, Turkey
May 2 2006

A Swiss prosecutor yesterday requested six months in prison for
Turkish Workers Party (IP) leader Dogu Perincek for his denial of
the Armenian genocide claims in a speech delivered in Winterthur,
Switzerland last year.

The prosecutor claimed that the speech Perincek made while denying
the genocide claims was “racist.”

Swiss law stipulates that those who deny, underestimate or support
genocide or other crimes against humanity are liable to fines or
imprisonment.

Following his statements in Winterthur, Perincek was detained last
July 23 and after testifying he was released.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
