Kommersant Daily: France May Be Expelled from CoE for Armenian Genocide Bill
13.10.2006 17:49 GMT+04:00
/PanARMENIAN.Net/ If the bill penalizing the Armenian Genocide denial
is finally adopted France runs a risk to receive a suit from the
European Court of Human Rights, which can force Paris to cancel the
disputable law, reports Kommersant daily. Besides, if the Council of
Europe Committee of Ministers, which is empowered to consider the
verdicts drawn by Strasbourg, also rates France's moves as illegal,
the state may be expelled from the CoE. Anyway, the date for the next
voting in the upper house of parliament has not been fixed yet and the
French senators have enough time to weigh `for' and `against'.
