“Armenian Renaissance - Paris” strongly condemned the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) judgment on Armenian Genocide denial case.

In its statement, the Armenian organization strongly condemned ruling in favor of Armenian Genocide-denying Turkish politician Dogu Perincek.

“By this decision, European Court of Human Rights refuted Armenian people’s right for existence and deprives Turkish people of the right to clarify the true facts of their history. Today the decision is directed against Armenians, what nations it will be directed against tomorrow?”

The organization urged Armenians living all over the globe to respond to the judgment that distorts the sense of “freedom of speech”.

The ECtHR recently ruled in favor of Armenian Genocide-denying Turkish politician Dogu Perincek’s lawsuit that was filed against Switzerland. The said judgment by European Court of Human Rights was made on the grounds of freedom of speech. In 2008, a Swiss court had convicted Perincek for denying the Armenian Genocide. Dogu Perincek is Chairman of the socialist Workers’ Party of Turkey.
