Journalist Lilit Kostanyan wrote on her Facebook page:
"When Turk Perinchek denies the Armenian Genocide in Switzerland, Switzerland sues him, because at that time Switzerland had already criminalized denial of the Armenian Genocide. Perinchek applies to the ECHR, saying that it is freedom of speech, etc. and he did not deny anything else. - to simply express one's opinion during a scientific conversation.
Armenia was involved in that case as a third party.
On October 16, 2015, the ECHR ruled that Perinchek simply expressed his opinion and the relatives of the Genocide victims have the right to apply to the court and receive compensation.
Despite the fact that Turkey became a party, allegedly 100 years have passed since the Genocide and so on, the court said NO, it doesn't matter how long it has been, the crime is a crime and the relatives of the victims have the right to apply to the court Turika decided to fight from within Armenia to forget the Genocide by bringing his agents to power.
And Switzerland, which has criminalized the denial of the Genocide, did it not hear that after so many years in its own country, someone denied the Genocide right under its nose?
P.S. Among others, Armenia has also criminalized denial of the Armenian Genocide."
Let's remind that Nikol Pashinyan stated that we still need to understand what happened during the Armenian Genocide, why and through whom we perceived the Armenian Genocide.
"We must return to the history of the Armenian Genocide, we must understand, well, what happened and why it happened, and how we perceived it, through whom we perceived it, how come there was no agenda for the Armenian Genocide in 1939, and How did the Armenian Genocide appear on the agenda in 1950?
"Should we understand this or should we not?" said the Prime Minister.
