The Anatolia Times-Labor Party Launches A Do Not Purchase Swiss Goods Campaign

"Labor Party Launches A Do Not Purchase Swiss Goods Campaign
ANKARA - Turkish Labor Party (IP) deputy leader Mehmet Bedri Gultekin has indicated today that his party has launched a campaign titled ''Do Not Purchase Swiss Goods'' that will be effective until the Swiss Parliament revokes a decision it adopted earlier on the so-called Armenian genocide.
Members of the IP convened in capital Ankara's main square Kizilay and carried banners and shouted slogans encouraging Turks not to purchase Swiss made goods due to the decision of the Swiss parliament vis-a-vis the so-called genocide of Armenians.

Gultekin pointed out that IP leader Dogu Perincek was called by the Lausanne Prosecutor's Office. Perincek was warned by the Swiss police officers before he gave a speech on the so-called Armenian genocide.

''The acts of the Swiss police have hurt the democratic image of Switzerland. Despite the warnings, Perincek delivered his speech,'' told Gultekin.

Gultekin said Perincek will be questioned tomorrow by the Lausanne Prosecutor. "
