The French Senate on Wednesday rejected a bill penalizing the denial
of Armenian genocide claims, removing a potential extra hurdle before
Turkish-French relations.

The bill, which was recently rejected by the French Senate
Constitution Commission as well, envisioned five years in prison and a
fine of up to 45,000 euros for people on French soil who deny genocide
claims. The bill was not endorsed by the French government either.
