AN OPEN LETTER TO THE SWISS AUTHORITIES

IN NO CIVILISED COUNTRY A NOTION OF "INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY" CAN BE ALTERED WITHOUT PROPER REFEFENCE TO THE BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS JURISPRUDENCE.

ARMENIAN CLAIMS OF GENOCIDE IS NOT PROVEN TO DATE AT ANY INTERNATIONAL RECOGNIZED LEGAL PLATFORM. THE ONLY JUDGEMENT AVAILABLE ON THIS CASE IS PASSED IN 1921 IN MALTA. THAT WAS "AGAINST" THE CLAIM.

AS THE SWISS AUTHORITIES DO NOT POSSESS THE RIGHT TO INTERFERE WITH THE INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED CHARTER ON HUMAN RIGHTS, WHAT THEY MAY HAVE PASSED IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY\'S LEGAL FRAMEWORK MAY INDEED INTEREFERE WITH THOSE RIGHTS OF MR DOGU PERINCEK. SUCH AN ACTION WILL BE TANTAMOUNT TO "IMPROPER PASSING OF JUDGEMENT WITHOUT HEARING AT THE INTERNATIONAL COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS"

I AM NOT SURE WHAT IS THE LATEST SITUATION RE: MR PERINCEK, BUT IF YOU JAIL HIM (INDEED PROF. YUSUF HALACOGLU ALSO) THEN EXPECT A TURKISH LEGAL RESPONSE FOR A RACIST ACT YOU HAVE MAY HAVE PERFORMED. TO JAIL A NON SWISS NATIONAL FOR AN INTERNATIONALLY UNRECOGNIZED SWISS LAW CAN ONLY BE TERMED "ACT OF JAILING FOR REASONS OTHER THAN LAW"

TO MAKE IT ABSOLUTELY CLEAR THAT NO PART OF OUR MESSAGE IS MISUNDERSTOOD, TURKS ARE CLAIMING THAT AN "UNPROVEN" ALLEGATION OF GENOCIDE CAN NOT BE TREATED AS "PROVEN"

I SHALL INDEED BE HAPPY TO ENTERTAIN YOUR RESPONSE TO OUR LIST IF YOU CHOOSE TO DO SO. OTHERWISE REQUEST THAT YOU DO NOT INTERFERE WITH BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS OF A TURK\'S RIGHT TO FREEDOM OF SPEECH IN EUROPE.
