    /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.
