The Turkish nationalists, who had placed a black wreath outside the office of Agos Armenian bilingual weekly of Istanbul, on April 24, 2015—the Armenian Genocide Centennial anniversary, have been sentenced to 10 months in prison.

A Turkish court handed down 10-month prison sentences, each, to Turan Hearths General Chairman Ercan Uçar, and Nationalist Turkey Party Istanbul office director Bilal Gökçeyurt, on charges of threatening and deliberately debasing a part of the people, for being of different nationality and religion, according to Diken news website of Turkey.

The court, however, suspended these sentences for 5 years.
