“The judgment delivered today by the ECHR constitutes a serious attack on the memory of victims of the 1915 genocide and the dignity of their descendants, present in particular in European countries. Everyone knows the deniers and clearly referred antiarméniennes Mr Perinçek and the framework in which it operates. That judges mésestiment malicious and hateful to Mr. Pericenk and injuries that denial because the Armenians, especially in the specific context of 2015, commemorating the centenary of the genocide, is simply unacceptable.
The position expressed by a narrow majority (10 against 7) of the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights, strongly criticized by the judges who dissented, is also inconsistent with that expressed by the overwhelming majority interveners’ third parties whose LICRA and FIDH.
The CFC strongly condemns this decision which disregards human dignity and reports of denial of justice.
However, it notes that this judgment, which sanctions the applicability of Swiss judges an uncontested legal standard in principle, marks an increase compared to that delivered in first instance, to the extent that it leaves the door open the criminalization of denial of the Armenian genocide. Implying that nothing prevents the adoption of a law to that effect by France, as it is particularly engaged the President of the Republic. The fight goes on.”
