Sufficient number of senators signed to carry an Armenian bill adopted
at the French Senate to the French constitutional court.

Application will be made on Tuesday.

The council is now expected to examine whether the law, passed in
both houses of the French parliament, violates the French constitution
and its founding base of freedom of expression.

The law needs to be approved by French President Nicolas Sarkozy,
who backs it, but the constitutional council may now annul it before
it goes to Sarkozy.
