YEREVAN. – French MPs’ appeal to the Constitution Council against the
bill criminalizing denial of the genocides, including the Armenia
Genocide, has rather a weak justification, head of Armenian
Constitution Court Gagik Harutyunyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

`I am aware of the arguments, which the MPs have presented. I believe
the bases of the appeal form rather weak arguments, the issues
included carry more institutional and political character. The bill
does not even mention the terms `Armenia’, `Turkey’ or `Armenian
Genocide’,’ Harutyunyan said.

To note, French Senate adopted bill criminalizing denial of genocides
on Jan. 23. However, a group of French senators appealed to the
Council.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
