Three Turkish nationals have gone on trial in the canton of Zurich
for denying that there was an Armenian genocide. The three made the
comments during a public demonstration in Winterthur in June last
year and repeated them yesterday in the courtroom. They say they are
sorry for the Armenians who died but argue that Turkey did not commit
genocide, saying this is an "international lie". The prosecutor has
asked for the accused to be fined up to CHF12,000 each. The defendants’
lawyer says his clients should go free because people can only be
punished for racially motivated statements denying genocide. He claims
his clients made the comments out of patriotism.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
