Yeap, there are numerous cases, where people got arrested because of this:
"December 2000 ? A Syrian Orthodox priest could go to prison for 3 years under Article 312 of the Turkish penal code. Father Yusuf Akbulut is accused of "provoking hatred and religious enmity" because of statements he made to the press. Fr. Akubulut had not given the press permission to publish an interview in which he stated that Syrians, as well as Armenians, were targets of Turkish genocide 85 years ago. The Turkish government denies international allegations that it massacred more than a million Armenians during World War I. Thus, Fr. Akbulut?s statements are considered divisive. The next hearing is scheduled for February 22, 2001."
