06.09.07
First Secretary of the French Socialist Party Francois Hollande,
accompanied by Kiro Manoyan and Hrant Margaryan, visited the Armenian
Genocide Museum & Institute and put a wreath to the memorial to the
Armenian Genocide victims. Mr Papoulies wrote in the Commemoration
Book:"The Memorial Complex is the expression of all those yesterday’s
victims, who claim for justice from the today’s alive".
"French socialists have done much for the recognition of the Armenian
Genocide by France. In 2001, we were the authors of the Armenian
Genocide bill, which was passed by both houses of the parliament. We
have also initiated the bill criminalizing the Armenian Genocide denial.
It was passed by the lower house and is waiting for voting in the
Senate," Mr. Holland said. Francois Hollande thinks the Senate will pass
the bill criminalizing the Armenian Genocide denial.
