PanARMENIAN.Net – The bill criminalizing the Armenian Genocide denial
refers not only to Armenian reality but targets the policy of denial
and racism, a French member of parliament said.
“Denial is unacceptable and should not be tolerated in a country
like France. I hope that everyone will vote today, being guided by
the conscience,” Patrice Calmejane said, adding that he will support
the bill, which envisages a year in jail and a fine of 45,000 euros
for those who publicly deny the Armenian Genocide in France.
