Turkish "gercekgundem" web site published a story previous year
before Armenia’s Serzh Sargsyan’s travel to Turkey. The story was
about the Presidents of Armenia and Turkey and the site’s readers
had possibility to share with their thoughts. Currently the site is
under custody because of a comment written by one of the readers.
"If the reader who posted such a comment isn’t found, the web site’s
editor in chief Barish Yarqadashi will be sentenced up to 5 years,"
Turkish Milliyet reported. The comment which stipulated the court
case claims that "Sargsyan sent a challenge to Turkey."
Turkish President’s Administration called that an offense against
the President. "We are under custody for something we haven’t done,"
web site says.
