Genocide deniers should be punished with law; this year the European
Armenian Federation will come forward with a new initiative. The
demonstration of Turks in the city of Lyon made the French be more
watchful.
It is known that the French law prohibits denying the fact of the
Armenian Genocide. The French, however, intend to enlarge the law to
punish all those who will make the fact of the Genocide a topic of
discussion or will deny it.
The necessity of this became apparent after the Turks organized a
rally denying the Armenian Genocide in Lyon. It was accompanied with
slogans denying the Genocide.
Furthermore, there is the necessity of a law that will become a serious
obstacle in Turkey's way to joining the European Union. In the recent
years there was an intention to execute a law against genocide in EU
member states; the development of the law was, however, hindered. The
European Armenian Federation Office intends to launch activities to
bring the law into force.
Germany is also working out a law to punish the Genocide deniers.
