/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The conference on "Denial and Democracy in Europe"
took place under the aegis of Elmar Brok, on Tuesday 6 October in
the European Parliament, Brussels. The conference aimed at raising
awareness on the true nature of Genocides' denials and on the threats
they cast on democracy.
This conference came in the scope of the adoption of the Framework
Decision against Racism & Xenophobia by the European Council of
December 2008. The Member States have to transpose the provisions
of this Framework Decision in their national legislations in a two
years-period.
The conference helped disclosing what is really at stake in the
struggle against ideologies which ravaged Europe in the past and which
are still alive under various forms. The dialectic between denial
of genocide, democracy and freedom of expression was particularly
highlighted, EÐ~PFJD reported.
