    17:22 | January 28,2015 | Politics


    The hearings of `Perinçek vs. Switzerland' case at the Grand Chamber
    of the European Court of Human Rights are over, Armenpress reports.

    The source says the ECHR will announce a verdict in relation to the
    case within 6- - 8 months. During the trial, attorney Jeffrey Robertson
    emphasized the fact that the modern world has to live freely without
    hatred and discrimination. In his speech, Robertson referred to Talaat
    Pasha as the Turkish Hitler.

    Amal Clooney, who was representing the interests of Armenia, spoke
    about the gloomy picture of freedom of speech in Turkey and human
    rights violations. She also touched upon the murder of Hrant Dink,
    emphasizing the fact that it was committed by Turk nationalists.

    While the Court was hearing the case, Armenians and Turks were holding
    a protest in front of the ECHR building. Dozens of police officers and
    police cars were keeping order in the vicinity of the building. The
    supporters of the Armenian side were screaming `1915 Never Again' and
    `It Is Time'.

    DoÄ?u Perinçek, Chairman of the Turkish Workers' Party, was the first
    to speak during the first session that began at 12:15 Yerevan time.
    According to rules, the next speakers will be the delegations of
    Switzerland (as the defendant), as well as the delegations of Armenia
    and Turkey involved in the case as the third parties.

    Plenipotentiary Representative of the Government of Armenia at the
    European Court of Human Rights Gevorg Kostanyan, as well as two
    international lawyers representing Armenia's interests at the ECHR,
    Amal Clooney and Jeffrey Robertson represent the Armenian side at the
    ECHR.
