GENOCIDE DENIAL
Kathimerini, Greece
March 13 2007
Turkish militant leader Dogu Perincek will appeal his conviction under
a Swiss law for denying that mass killings of Armenians during World
War One constituted genocide, his lawyer said yesterday.
Perincek, the leader of the Turkish Workers' Party, received a fine
of 3,000 Swiss francs (-1,900) and a suspended sentence last Friday
from a court in Lausanne, over comments he made during a rally in
the Swiss city in 2005. He was the first person to be convicted in
Switzerland for denying the Armenian genocide, following his claim
the killings were an "international lie." (AFP)
