Mehmet Perincek comes from a renowned political family in Turkey: His father Dogu Perincek, challenged the Swiss law on Armenian genocide denial in 2007, was found guilty in Swiss court. Senior Perincek later took the case to European Court of Human Rights which reversed the Swiss ruling by stating that "Mr. Dogu Perincek was making a speech of a historical, legal and political nature in a contradictory debate" and that his freedom of expression was violated by the Swiss law.
His mother Sule Perincek is a longtime political activist and is involved in the formation of a new political party in Turkey.
