Turkish Nationalist to Be Tried for Genocide Denial

After years of denying the Armenian Genocide, at least one Turk will suffer the consequences.

Turkish nationalist, leader of the Turkish Labor Party Dogu Perincek will stand trial in Switzerland. Perincek called the Genocide "an international lie" during his speech in Bern and repeated the same words in Zurich.

A criminal case was also initiated against chairman of the Turkish Association of Historians Yusuf Halacogly, who repeatedly denies the Armenian Genocide.

According to the Swiss legislation, public denial or justification of the Armenian Genocide conflicts with the law and is viewed as a criminal deed.

At last, a country that can talk the talk and walk the walk. Let's hope they get the message!
