    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkish MPs met with Chairman of the Permanent
    Council of Foreign Political Commission of Switzerland (APK) Peter
    Briner in Bern, reported Blick online. In the course of the meeting the
    Armenian issue, which lead to differences in Swiss-Turkish relations,
    was discussed. The parties also discussed the criminal proceedings
    against Turkish historian Yusuf Halacoglu. Professor of philology
    Yusuf Halacoglu denied the fact of the Armenian Genocide in his report
    in Winterthur Swiss city on 2 May, 2004. The Winterthur Office of
    Public Prosecutor started investigation of the Halacoglu case on
    suspicion of racism. The case is now investigated in Zurich. After
    that a number of Turkish senior officials refused from meetings with
    Swiss officials. Specifically, Turkish Minister of Trade Kursat
    Tuzmen refused to meet with Minister of Economy Joseph Deiss in
    Switzerland. As of the Armenian Genocide, tension appeared between
    Switzerland and Turkey before due to the recognition of the Armenian
    Genocide of 1915 by Switzerland. Today the Turkish delegation is
    scheduled to meet with the Foreign Minister and Federal Councilor.
