[04:01 pm] 13 October, 2006
According to European Union Commissioner for External
Relations and European Neighborhood Policy Benita
Ferrero-Waldner, the decision of the French Parliament
to criminalize the negation of the Armenian Genocide
will not influence the process of the membership of

with the country which wants to join the EU»,
announced Benita Ferrero-Waldner on Friday.
The European Union Commissioner also said that «the
issue of the Armenian Genocide is raised in France
periodically because there is a large Armenian
community in the country».
