Armenian Foreign Minister Eduard Nalbandyan believes the bill
criminalizing denial of the Armenian genocide, which will be discussed
in the French Senate, cannot become an obstacle to the settlement of
Armenian-Turkish relations.
“The two things are not connected. Turkey’s arguments on the bill
are weak. If something is an obstacle, it’s the position of Turkey,”
Nalbandyan told a press conference on Monday.
When Turkey speaks about some economic consequences of the adopting
of some bills by the Senate, this “smells not only of corruption,
but also blackmail.”
The bill criminalizing the denial of the Armenidan genocide was
discussed has been discussed by the French Senate and adopted by the
lower house of the French legislature.
