YEREVAN. – Armenian Diaspora Minister Hranush Hakobyan assessed high
the efforts by the French-Armenians and, in particular, French Senate’s
MPs for including the bill criminalizing the denial of the Armenian
Genocide for voting in the French Senate, Hakobyan said during the
meeting with the Marseilles deputy Mayor of Armenian descent Didier
Parakian on Thursday.
The Minister paid importance to the French President’s readiness to
be loyal to his election promise and expressed belief that a new bill
will be submitted in the Senate soon for criminalizing the denial of
the Genocide.
The Marseilles deputy Mayor thanked the Minister for her activity of
preserving the Armenian heritage, recalling in particular the Come
Home project, which allowed hundreds of French-Armenian young people
recognize and love Armenia.
