PanARMENIAN.Net – French National Assembly members Francois Bayrou
and Jean Bardet spoke against adopting the bill criminalizing denial
of the Armenian Genocide in France.
“I agree that there had been the Armenian Genocide, we officially
acknowledged it, but this bill will entail punishment of people having
different opinion,” Francois Bayrou said.
Jean Bardet, in turn, stated that the issue of Armenian Genocide
belongs to domain of history and should not be discussed by the
legislative.
