Yerevan (Yerkir) - Approximately 600 people of Armenian descent
gathered yesterday in front of the French Senate as it was debating
the bill passed by the French National Assembly in 2006 criminalizing
denial of Armenian Genocide.
Ara Toranian, the new co-chairman of the CCAF, with Mourad Papazian,
invited the Armenian community not to slacken its mobilization so
that French Republic take its responsibilities towards the danger
posed by the Turkish denial.
Ara Toranian and Mourad Papazian hope that the bill will be adopted
before 2011. If the law is adopted, the negation of Armenian genocide
will be a punishable offence with one year of imprisonment and 45.000
euros of fine.
