YEREVAN, DECEMBER 21, ARMENPRESS. French parliamentarian, PACE
Vice-President, Chairman of the Armenia-France friendship
group Rene Rouquet expressed his concerns over the verdict of the
European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) on DoÄ?u Perinçek's case.
As reports `Armenpress' Rene Rouquet stated that this verdict is a
blow to all those people, who are working for the restoration of the
just memory of the Armenian people.
The PACE Vice-President raised a number of questions. First of all he
emphasized that Switzerland can appeal the verdict within three
months in the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights.
Among other things Rene Rouquet underscored: `In this
respect the verdict is not final and the Grand Chamber can fulfill its
function of protecting the human rights and fundamental freedoms
in accordance with the article 44 of the European Convention on Human Rights.'
In addition the PACE Vice-President emphasized: `After this verdict I
am more than convinced that the denialism has no place at least on
the European level. We must struggle till the final triumph on the
international level. This is our sacred duty before the memory of the
victims of the first Genocide of the 20th century.'
Previously it was reported that the European Court of Human Rights
(ECHR) announced an ambiguous verdict on DoÄ?u Perinçek's case,
particularly taking into consideration the fact that two of the seven
judges cast their vote against the verdict. The Minister of Justice of
the
Republic of Armenia Hrayr Tovmasyan underscored that while announcing
the verdict ECHR laid a heavy emphasis on the fact that DoÄ?u
Perinçek is a historian and scientist.
The Armenian Cause French Office and the Armenian National Committee
of Europe issued a statement, which in particular runs as follows:
`The court's verdict is extremely dangerous and provides direct
support to the stream of denialism in Europe orchestrated by Ankara
and
Baku and paves an additional way for them. This infamous decision of
the European Court transgresses the right to dignity of the Armenian
Genocide victims and their descendants.'
