A couple of years ago, I was on a business trip out in San Diego, California. I stopped off at a Greek restaurant, on the San Diego Bay, for lunch. The owner,George, introduced me to his two Turk employees. We shook hands, and upon learning of my ethnic background-Armenian, the elder Turk gentleman piped in, he said," Vee are half Armenian, half Greek, and ONLY Toorkeesh by name." Moral to the story is, the average Turks are well aware of the genocide, it is big and foul-mouthed cockroaches like Bagamis are the ones who give the rest of the Turks bad name.

The statements of this macho Turkish Minster could be of much useful to convince the ‎constitutional court of France that denial of Armenian Genocide is indeed state sponsored as ‎the documented genocide itself. Therefore to tolerate the aggressive and systematic denial or ‎justification of a well documented Genocide would be as criminal as to tolerate curing out ‎genocide.‎ If a state like Turkey could claim justification and denial of genocide were part of free speech, ‎in this case -the genocide itself- licence to annihilate of people by Turkish - could be regard as legal act ‎too

i mean ‎the rude Behaviour

Not every publicity is a good publicity. The rude belabour and provocations of this Turkish ‎Minster could be serving as a good example that the denial of Armenian Genocide is not an ‎historical issue or disputed fact but its denial is poorly politically motivated on the heights ‎state level. Therefore such a racial motivated and deliberately denial needs a political answer ‎and an holistic approach by the democratic countries and laws, which takes the systematic ‎denial of Armenian Genocide by its preparatory and insulting of the victims into account!‎

Hillary Clinton's statements were very shocking. I wonder if she thinks the Holocaust is a debatable topic as well.

Jay, He says untouchable because he is not Switzerland citizen and legally Switzerland court doesn't have the legacy to make decisions for Turkish diplomatic corpus. Bagis knows this and that is why he misuses it. Long story short, legally, it is impossible to sue him even if he said it in Davos or Istanbul.

Born in Bingöl (Bingyol, in Arm.: Jabaghjur, Turkicized: Çapakçur) into a family with origins in Siirt (Arm.: Sghert), it would be impossible for Mr Bagis, an intelligent man, NOT to be aware of the thorough extermination of Armenian and other Christian (Assyrians, ...) communities in his ancestral lands. Playing 2nd violin to his master Erdogan's arrogant denials, he is throwing down the gauntlet in Europe's courtyard. How the Swiss authorities handle this case could be precedent setting.

Bagis says he is untouchable for denying the Armenian Genocide. But of course, you would be untouchable too, if you were hiding behind Hillary Clinton's fat ass and making those comments.
