PanARMENIAN.Net – Heritage opposition party welcomes adoption of
the bill penalizing Armenian Genocide denial by the French National
Assembly, stating that the step once again proved France’s adherence
to democracy, human rights and values. This also implies logical
continuation of EU policy against racism.
“The decision is also the product of long-term and persistent struggle
by worldwide Armenians, first of all Diaspora having survived the
Genocide. Western Armenians gradually regain their rights, which
Heritage perceives a most essential national issue. Unfortunately,
the Republic of Armenia has not passed a similar law yet,” the party
message reads.
