/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Socialist faction of the French Parliament took
a decision on March 29 to introduce a bill in the Parliament against
the denial of the Armenian Genocide. The Armenian Revolutionary
Federation's Western Europe Central Committee has issued a statement
welcoming the decision that is the result of many petitions sent by
the ARF to the Socialist Party leader Francois Holland. "This is the
second time that the Socialist faction is using the Parliament for
the benefit of Armenians," the statement says. "After May 29, 1998,
which was dedicated to the Armenian Genocide law, the Socialist Party
could use May 18, 2006 to pass a law that would outlaw the denial of
the Armenian Genocide." If passed, the law will make it a crime to deny
the Armenian Genocide and the deniers would be automatically convicted.
