We discussed this case previously. But now, it's done:
A Swiss district court has found a Turkish politician, Dogu Perincek, guilty of racial discrimination for denying the 1915 Armenian massacre was genocide. The court handed Perincek a 90-day suspended sentence or a corresponding penalty as well as a fine of SFr 3,000 [about $2,500]. Perincek can avoid imprisonment in case he avoids repeating his statements during two years.Will this send a message to all other Genocide deniers in Switzerland? Will Dogu himself continue his denial? We'll have to see.
"The core of the process is that the Armenian Genocide is an incontestable fact and no one has the right to question it."
