    GERMAN-LANGUAGE WEBSITE ABOUT THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE LAUNCHED - WWW.GENOZID1915.DE

    YEREVAN, February 2. /ARKA/. A German-language website has been
    launched about the 1915 genocide of Armenians - www.genozid1915.de.

    The new website offers various information on the genocide, including
    videos and archive documents, and tells about the Armenian community
    of Germany and its efforts to achieve acknowledgment of the genocide
    by Germany.

    News from all over the world on the genocide problem, including on
    Perincek's case, is posted on the website created by the committee
    for Armenian genocide centennial measures in Germany.

    The target audience of the resource is the German speaking population
    of Europe. The site has also a feedback option.

    The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) on Wednesday heard an appeal
    filed by Switzerland against Turkey's Workers' Party chairman Dogu
    Perincek, who was convicted earlier by a Swiss court of denying the
    Armenian genocide. Armenia was represented in Strasbourg by human
    rights lawyer Amal Clooney and Geoffrey Robertson. The Strasbourg
    court will announce its ruling on the case at a later date.

    Perincek had earlier won an appeal at the European court against the
    Swiss court decision to convict him of having branded the Armenian
    genocide an "international lie" during a series of speeches in
    Switzerland in 2007. The ECHR said in its December 17, 2013, decision
    that the politician had exercised his "right to free speech."

    The Armenian Genocide was the first genocide of the twentieth century.

    According to Armenian and many other historians, up to 1.5 million
    Armenians were killed starting in 1915 in a systematic campaign by
    the government of Turkey. Turkey has been denying it for decades.

    The Armenian genocide was recognized by tens of countries. The first
    was Uruguay that did so in 1965. Other nations are Russia, France,
    Italy, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Poland, Lithuania, Slovakia, Sweden,
    Switzerland, Greece, Cyprus, Lebanon, Canada, Venezuela, Argentina,
    42 U.S. states.

    It was recognized also by the Vatican, the European Parliament, the
    World Council of Churches and other international organizations. -0-
