    Turkish schoolboy in France denies Genocide

    17:35 / 11/21/2009A Turkish high schooler of a French school, who
    refused to write a composition about Armenian Genocide in Ottoman
    Empire, reasoning that `Even if it did happen, Armenians deserved it'
    had agreed to put that all genocides ever are the result of injustice,
    CNNturk informs.

    As NEWS.am informed earlier, the law on denial of Armenian Genocide
    providing a persecution will be adopted in France. Mustafa Dogan, a
    13-year-old Turk, was expelled from a school in Nancy after insisting
    that there was no Armenian Genocide, Nov. 18. Dogan's history teacher
    asked a question about the events of 1915 and the `Armenian Genocide'
    in a written exam. Having previously argued with the teacher over the
    matter, the Turkish schoolboy got angry and wrote, `Even if it did
    happen, they deserved it.'

    Mehmet Dogan ` Mustafa's father, accused the principal of racism. `I
    wish he hadn't written `Even if [the genocide] did happen, they
    deserved it.' This made them angry,' he said.

    Later, Today's Zaman contacted the principal of the Jacques Marquette
    secondary school, Francis Vignola and asked to comment on the case.
    `Vignola said he supported the sanctions placed on Mustafa Dogan,' the
    source concludes.
