The fact that France adopted resolution criminalizing the denial of
Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire in 1915 shows that France
tries to redeem its fault before Armenians. That is, it did not
fulfill the guarantees of security of Armenians inhabiting Western
Armenia provided by the 1878 Berlin Congress, political scientist
Levon Melik-Shakhnazaryan said at the press conference today.
Armenian political scientist said that he is sure that the document
will be completely adopted by the Senate as well. It will deprive
Turkey and Azerbaijan of a possibility to continue the anti-Armenian
propaganda round the world. "French Parliament's ratification of the
resolution is an important achievement of Armenia in foreign policy
for the last several years", said L. Melik-Shakhnazaryan.
The lower chamber of the French parliament adopted the draft law
criminalizing the denial of Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire in
1915 and imposing a 45 ths EUR fine. The document is to be passed to
French Senate and then be signed by President of the French Republic.
