Istanbul-Armenian MP Garo Paylan from Turkey’s pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) has won the case against Tolga Adıgüzel, the Kars provincial head of  “Idealist Hearths” (Ülkü Ocakları) institution.

The Turkish court sentenced Adıgüzel to six months in prison, together with a pecuniary punishment of 11,240 Turkish Liras on charges of “overtly insulting some segments of the public based on difference of social class, race, religion, sect, sexuality or region,” CNNturk reports.

The court considered the fact that Tolga Adıgüzel had never been convicted before and extended the implementation of the punishment.

After the concert of world-renowned Armenian pianist Tigran Hamasyan in former Armenian capital Ani, nationalist Tolga Adıgüzel had threatened the Armenians, saying: “Should we go out for hunting for Armenians in the streets of Kars?”

Following this, Garo Paylan filed a lawsuit against Adıgüzel at the Republican Prosecutor’s Office of Kars with the help of 10 attorneys working in the city.
