Switzerland has recognized the Armenian genocide, adopted a law
prohibiting the denial of the genocide, and condemned the massacres
of Armenian khachkars in Old Djolfa. Swiss Foreign Minister Micheline
Calmy-Rey stated June 12 that their relations with Turkey did not
become tense in the aftermath though there were some trials.
Switzerland is simply interested and willing to contribute to the
improvement of Turkish-Armenian and Armenian-Azerbaijani relations
and foster the use of diplomatic methods to settle the conflict and
sustain democracy in the South Caucasus. The resolution of the Karabakh
conflict will both regulate the Armenian-Azerbaijani relations and
indirectly foster Turkish-Armenian relations.
Switzerland has always made efforts to foster dialogue between
Armenia and Turkey but has failed so far, said the deputy chair of
the Federal Council of the Swiss Confederation, Foreign Minister
Micheline Calmy-Rey.
