PARIS – In the struggle against Turkish denial of the Armenian Genocide,
the Coordination Council of Armenian Organizations of France (CCAF)
has decided to launch a petition asking Switzerland to appeal the most
recent judgment of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), which
found that the ultra-nationalist Dogu Perinçek, president of the
Workers’ Party of Turkey, could not be condemned for saying publicly
in Geneva in 2007 that the `so-called Armenian genocide is an
imperialist lie.’
The full petition can be read and signed at Change.org.
