SWISS SENATE WASHES HANDS OF GENOCIDE ISSUE
Turkey's massacre of Armenians in 1915 will not be an issue for the Swiss Senate, according to the president of the Senate foreign-affairs committee.
Peter Briner said other countries had no business pointing the finger at Turkey 90 years after the disputed events. "The Senate Commission came to an agreement with the Swiss government that it is not the parliament to decide whether it was a genocide or not", he added. To note, the Chamber of Representatives of the Swiss Senate adopted the resolution on the Armenian Genocide in 2003, Swissinfo reports.
