YEREVAN. – It is better not to say anything about the Perinçek v. Switzerland case yet and wait till the judgment is delivered, said Georges Martin, Assistant State Secretary, Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs.

“Switzerland is expecting a final decision, and it is better not to say anything now. We are waiting. May be later this week we will be able to say anything,” Mr. Martin told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

The European Court of Human Rights will be delivering its Grand Chamber judgment in the case of Perinçek v. Switzerland on Thursday 15 October 2015.

In 2008, a Swiss court had convicted Dogu Perincek for denying the Armenian Genocide. In December 2013, the ECHR had ruled in favor of Perincek’s lawsuit that was filed against Switzerland. Subsequently, the Government of Switzerland petitioned that the Dogu Perincek case be referred for a review by the ECHR Grand Chamber.

Separately, Armenia had petitioned to the ECHR, and it now acts as a third party in this case, whose European Court of Human Rights Grand Chamber hearing was held on January 28.
