Statement by Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia Vartan Oskanian
On the French National Assembly vote of October 12
Today's approval of the bill by the French National Assembly is a
natural continuation of France's principled and consistent defense
of human and historic rights and values.
This decision is also a natural reaction to the intensive, aggressive
and official denialism of the Armenian Genocide by the Turkish
state. They have undertaken a premeditated, planned assault on
the truth.
To adopt such a decision is the French Parliament's sovereign right and
is understandable. What we don't understand is the Turkish government's
instigation of extremist public reactions, especially while Turkey
itself has a law that does exactly the same thing and punishes those
who even use the term genocide or venture to discuss those events.
