Barçın Yinanç, correspondent of the Referans newspaper (Turkey), published an article on tension over the RA Constitutional Court/s verdict between Armenia and Turkey.

The reporter reminds the readers that Ferudin Siniroglu, Advisor to the Turkish Foreign Office, is to go to Switzerland to present his country’s concern over the verdict.

The Turkish journalist points out a most interesting fact: denying the Armenian Genocide is a penal act in Switzerland. Barçın Yinanç’s version of the Turkish official’s visit is as follows: Ferudin Siniroglu arrives in Switzerland and asked about the aim of his visit. He is likely to answer that, according to the RA Constitutional Court’s verdict, a subcommittee of historians to be formed under the protocols has no right to discuss the fact of the Armenian Genocide — this fact is not a topic for discussions for Armenians. The Turkish side, which holds the opposite opinion, is ready for discussions. Thousands of Swiss citizens hear Sirinoglu saying that, and a public prosecutor decides to institute criminal proceedings against him for denying the Armenian Genocide.
