Genocide
It is already three weeks that the local court of Wintherthur,
a town in Switzerland, fails to announce the verdict for 3 Turks,
who are accused for denying the Armenian Genocide.
The Armenian community in Switzerland and in the rest of Europe is
anxious whether the delay is caused by Ali Babacan’s statement in
Bern about leaving the historic matters to the historians to decide
and by the intensification of Switzerland-Turkey relations.
The Swiss press suggests that Turkey is enhancing its relations
with Switzerland in return of Bern’s initiative in normalizing the
Armenia-Turkey relations.
To be reminded, the 3 Turks are the supporters of Dogan Perincek,
who was sentenced for denying the Genocide.
The European Armenian community hopes that political matters will
not affect the decisions of judicial bodies.
