PRESIDENT CHIRAC CALLS TURKEY TO RECOGNIZE GENOCIDE OF ARMENIANS
`I believe Turkey must think carefully and better recognize the
Armenian genocide if she has plans to join a union that keeps to
values connected with human rights,' President Jacques Chirac told a
joint press conference with Robert Kocharyan.
Speaking about the law to be put in front of French parliament soon
which proposes punishment for denying genocide, President Chirac said,
` As you know we are a rule of law state and in a rule of law state,
according to French law, those who disseminate hatred or racism are
punished.'
President Chirac called Turkey to recognize genocide. He said Germany
did not lose its glory and trust towards her when she recognized the
Genocide of Jews. On the contrary, `I believe that a country goes up
to new heights when it admits the flaws of the past,' President Chirac
said. /Panorama.am/
