Representative of the Democratic Movement Union of France, Armenian
in origin, Patrick Devejian has proposed an amendment in the law
criminalizing the denial of the Armenian Genocide, insisting that it
should not apply to researchers and historians.
The proposed amendment consists of only one clause, "These measures
do not apply to academic and scientific research."
The European Armenian Federation calls on Parliamentarians to adopt
the law for the sake of "human dignity."
In a statement attached to the proposed amendment Devejian noted
that the draft will prevent the political disputes by any country,
first of all meaning Turkey.
