The court found that Dogu Perincek's statements related to an issue of "public interest"

The European Court of Human Rights has ruled that a Turkish politician should not have been prosecuted for denying that the mass killing of Armenians by Ottoman Turkey was a genocide. Judges ruled by ten votes to seven that Dogu Perincek's 2007 conviction for racial discrimination by a Swiss court infringed his right to free speech. Mr Perincek had said "the Armenian genocide is a big fat lie". The ECHR ruled that Mr Perincek had not called for "hatred or intolerance" ... The court made a distinction with Holocaust denial, which judges said could always be seen as a form of incitement to racial hatred in certain countries. Denying that the Armenian killings were a genocide is illegal in Switzerland as well as Cyprus, Slovakia, and Greece.




"The Jewish genocide is a big fat lie."
