Despite obvious pressure by Turkey, Armenian community in France goes
on lobbying for adoption of the bill criminalizing denial of Armenian
Genocide under the Ottoman Turkey in the early 20th century, French
office of Hay Dat (Armenian Cause) and Political Affairs of Armenian
Revolutionary Federation Dashnaktsutyun (ARFD) said in a statement.
Representatives of the Armenian community are full-fledged citizens
of France and have a right to demand adoption of a bill by the MPs,
while Turkey’s intervention in the internal affairs of France is
unacceptable.
On May 4, the French Senate will consider a resolution, criminalizing
the denial of Armenian Genocide under Ottoman Turkey in the early
20th century.
