Armenians held an action on Wednesday near the building of the European Court of Human Rights where a hearing in the case of Perinçek v. Switzerland is held.
They are carrying posters “1915 Never Again”, “It’s time to recognize, repatriation for the Armenian Genocide”, European Armenian Federation for Justice & Democracy (EAFJD) reported.
As reported earlier, hearing in the case of Perinçek v. Switzerland has started Strasbourg.
Armenia and Turkey are acting as third parties in the case.
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 had decided to petition that the Dogu Perincek case be referred for a review by the ECHR Grand Chamber. Afterward, Armenia had petitioned to the ECHR, and it now acts as a third party in this case.
