"Armenians reject the recent decision of the European Court of Human
Rights (ECHR) on the denial of the Armenian Genocide," states
His Holiness Aram I
Antelias - On Friday 7 February 2014, His Holiness Aram I met with the
Swiss Ambassador to Lebanon Her Excellency Ruth Flint. During the meeting,
the Catholicos expressed his indignation at the decision of the ECHR on the
Perinçek case of December 2013. His Holiness stated that this ruling not
only questions the truth of the Armenian Genocide; it also sets a precedent
for other genocides. He then expressed his solidarity with the Swiss
Authorities for any measures they might take to help overturn the decision.
Ambassador Flint informed the Catholicos that Swiss embassies all over the
world were receiving letters protesting the ECHR decision.
On this same issue, His Holiness Aram I also contacted the Federation of
Swiss Protestant Churches in Bern, who informed him that they were
addressing the issue to the Federal Minister of Justice, Simonetta
Sammaruga, in writing.
