/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `I would like to remind that France recognized the
Armenian Genocide on the state level. This is our law and it's
obligatory for everyone,' French President Jacques Chirac said at a
press conference in Yerevan when commenting to a Le Figaro reporter on
the Socialist Party's initiative to adopt a law criminalizing the
Armenian Genocide denial. The French leader underscored that France is
a legal state and any demonstration of racism and xenophobia is
punished in compliance with the Penal Code. `The rest, in my opinion,
is politics having nothing in common with the legal side of the
issue,' he said.
