    PERINCEK DUE TO ZURICH

    March 6 2007

    IP CHAIRMAN PERINCEK: -"WE ARE GOING TO SUBVERT THE LAW PUNISHING
    THE DENIAL OF THE GENOCIDE LIE"

    ISTANBUL - Workers Party(IP) Chairman Dogu Perincek went to Zurich to
    attend the trial of the lawsuit filed against him for the remarks he
    had uttered rejecting the Armenian genocide allegations in Switzerland.

    Speaking to the press at the Ataturk International airport before
    leaving for Zurich, Perincek reminded they were being tried for
    having said that the Armenian genocide was an international lie and
    said their program in Zurich was between March 6th and 9th.

    Stating that they were being tried for telling the truth, Perincek
    said, "this is an `inquisition trial`. They have resurrected the
    "`Middle Age` in Europe. They are on a witch hunt. We are going to
    subvert the law punishing the denial of the Armenian genocide lies."

    "We have violated the law for the past three years, and the end for
    this law is near. Swiss Minister of Justice Blocher has been stating
    for six months that the law would be subverted. A commission was
    founded in Switzerland to do this," said Perincek.

    Perincek indicated that they were getting the fruits of "the right
    attitude and a firm stance."

    Stating that they were taking along 90 kg of documents in Russian and
    Armenian, Perincek said they would submit these documents to the court.

    Perincek said these documents were taken from Russian Archives
    and included reports and other documents written by Armenian prime
    ministers, commanders, historians and statesmen between 1918 and 1950.

    Perincek noted that when the authorities read these documents,
    Turkey`s righteous claims would prove to be true and said, "in these
    documents, Armenian prime ministers and commanders say `we have been a
    fool for imperialism and a consequently took up arms. Turkey defended
    its country. Carried out the fight for a righteous cause. We have to
    bear the consequences."

    Perincek said a group of 164 people including academicians, retired
    generals, unions` officials and representatives of the NGOs were
    travelling to Lausanne in the leadership of the first President
    of Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus Rauf Denktas tomorrow to
    support him.
