In the Swiss city of Lausanne the jury announced the verdict on fining
the leader of the Turkish Workers' Party Dogu Perincek for denying the
Armenian Genocide. The International Herald Tribute informs that Dogu
Perincek was returned guilty of violating the Swiss law on racism,
which was formerly applied against Holocaust deniers. The source notes
that at the court hearing the Turkish politician repeated his words
uttered during a demonstration in Lausanne in 2005, according to which
`the massacre of Armenians at the turn of the previous century was not
genocide.'
