    "Ermenihaber.am" news site informs the European Court of Human Rights
    (ECHR) is supposed to release on October 25 its judgment on Taner
    Akcam, Turkish historian, vs. Ankara case.

    ECHR posted in its forthcoming Grand Chamber judgments page that the
    applicant, Altug Taner Akcam, is a Turkish and German national who was
    born in 1953 and lives in Ankara. A professor of history, he researches
    and publishes extensively on the historical events of 1915 concerning
    the Armenian population in the Ottoman Empire. Relying on Article 10
    (freedom of expression), he alleges that he lives in constant fear of
    investigation and prosecution1 for his views on the Armenian issue. He
    notably submits a report by the European Commission of 2008 according
    to which 257 such cases were forwarded by the Turkish courts to the
    Ministry of Justice for review.

    The news site predicts that the court will satisfy Akcam's case.
