PARIS - French prosecutor asked Paris Appellate Court to reject file
which was submitted by Armenians against Turkish Consul General in
Paris Aydin Sezgin.
The prosecutor asked rejection on the grounds that Sezgin has
diplomatic immunity as well as the freedom of expression in the
country.
Paris Appellate court will make a decision on October 11th.
Association of Armenian Case Defense earlier applied to the Paris 17th
Basic Criminal Department against Paris Consulate General's official
web-site which included articles against so-called Armenian genocide
last year, but the Department rejected the application as Sezgin
has diplomatic immunity. In spite of the rejection, the Association
applied to the higher Paris Appellate Court.
