Infamous Perincek to run for president in Turkey



YEREVAN, JULY 20, ARMENPRESS. Doghu Perincek, the infamous chairman of
Turkey’s Vatan party, who is known for his hatred towards Armenians by
his outrageous public Armenophobic statements, will run for
presidential office in Turkey’s 2019 election, Sputnik reported.

A party spokesman told a local TV channel that Perincek will be one of
the presidential candidates.

In 2007, Perincek received criminal conviction by a Swiss court for
publicly denying the Armenian Genocide and hate speech.
