The Armenian partnership in "Kirchenbote"
In December 2013, the European Court of Justice ruled that the public denial of the Armenian genocide by Turkish politician Doğu Perinçek while in Switzerland was in accordance with the right to free speech. A Swiss Court had previously sentenced Perinçek to a fine in 2007.
The European Court of Justice's ruling that this sentencing was not justified came as a shock, especially to the Armenian diaspora in Switzerland.
