/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkey’s massacre of Armenians in 1915 will not be
an issue for the Swiss Senate, according to the president of the
Senate foreign-affairs committee. Peter Briner said other countries
had no business pointing the finger at Turkey 90 years after the
disputed events. `The Senate Commission came to an agreement with the
Swiss government that it is not the parliament to decide whether it
was a genocide or not’, he added. To note, the Chamber of
Representatives of the Swiss Senate adopted the resolution on the
Armenian Genocide in 2003, Swissinfo reports.
