    SWORN ANTI-ARMENIAN TURKISH POLITICIAN IS RELEASED FROM PRISON

    March 11, 2014 | 13:41
    Dogu Perincek was released by a Turkish court decision. Against the
    backdrop of the conflict between PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Islamic
    opinion leader Fethullah Gulen, the Turkish authorities have begun
    releasing those who were sentenced to prison in connection with the
    Ergenekon case on the attempt to overthrow the current government of
    the country.

    Among those released is Dogu Perincek, who is a sworn anti-Armenian
    politician, Chairman of the socialist Workers' Party of Turkey, and
    head of the Talat Pasha organization which actively fights against
    the Armenian Genocide's recognition in Europe.

    After being released, Perincek issued a statement before reporters,
    and stressed that the time has come to fight against and uproot the
    religious communities in Turkey.

    On December 17, 2013, the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR)
    ruled in favor of Armenian Genocide-denying Turkish politician
    Dogu Perincek's lawsuit that was filed against Switzerland. The
    said judgment by the ECtHR was made on the grounds of freedom of
    speech. In 2008, a Swiss court had convicted Perincek for denying
    the Armenian Genocide.
