/PanARMENIAN.Net/ A leading figure from the ruling People's
Majority Unity Party, French Armenian Patrick Devedjian proposed an
amendment to the bill penalizing the Armenian Genocide denial. The
single-sentenced proposal reads "These regulations do not apply
to academic and scientific researches and studies." To remind, the
draft submitted by the opposition Socialist Party stipulates those
who deny the Armenian Genocide be imprisoned up to five years and
fined 45,000 euros. In a statement annexed to the amendment proposal,
Devedjian, in reference to Turkey, noted that the bill should prevent
any provocations and political demonstrations organized by a foreign
country, reported zaman.com.
