PARIS, APRIL 24, ARMENPRESS: The former French President Nicolas
Sarkozy stated that 100 years after the Armenian Genocide, Turkey
should face the own history. Le Figaro reports that Sarkozy stated
about it in the interview to the Politique Internationale Monthly.
To the question if Turkey will ever recognize the Armenian Genocide,
Sarkozy answered that he believes it, though he cannot say how much
time it would take.
“I think finally the clarity will prevail. For me denial is not an
opinion. It is an insult and threat. The genocide denial disrupts the
social order and the fundamental values of our republic. That is why, I
adopted an Armenian Genocide denial criminalizing document, when I was
a president”, – said the former French President, Armenpress reports.
