Ankara, 30 May: "Turkey would be pleased if Switzerland’s initiatives
to amend the law criminalizing the denial of so-called Armenian
genocide are true," said Turkish MFA [Ministry of Foreign Affairs]
Spokesman Levent Bilman on Wednesday [30 May].

"However, it is important to see the outcome," he added.

When asked whether Turkey requested information from Switzerland about
the issue, Bilman said, "Of course we asked additional information."

"If such an initiative that will remove obstacles hindering freedom of
expression has been launched, we would be pleased. We are monitoring
the developments," he noted.

“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
