ARMENIAN GENOCIDE DENIAL MUST BE CRIMINALIZED ON INTERNATIONAL LEVEL: F. ROCHEBLOINE
14:23, 23 April, 2015
YEREVAN, APRIL 23, ARMENPRESS. The French MP Francois Rochebloine is
confident that the best way of preventing the genocides is not merely
condemning them, but defining the denial as a crime. “I see something
irritating in the Armenian Genocide denial, which represents a threat
to the public freedom, as it violates the justice and human dignity,”
Francois Rochebloine noted.
As reports “Armenpress”, among other things, the French MP underscored:
“It’s necessary to define a criminal punishment for such an activity
to prevent the repetition of such genocidal actions. I am sorry that
the Constitutional Council hindered the adoption of such a law in
France. We’ll continue our activities to eliminate those obstacles.”
