The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkey has issued a statement,
in which it denounces the 9-day suspended sentence and about $3 000
fine the Swiss court announced against the leader of the leader of the
Turkish Workers’ Party Dogu Perincek for denying the Armenian Genocide.

"The trial was superfluous, ungrounded and disputable in all regards.

This verdict is unacceptable for Turkish people," the statement says.

The CNN-Turk reports that the Turkish MFA characterized the verdict as
"violation of freedom of speech."
