PanARMENIAN.Net - A member of the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP)
French party said the Armenian Genocide recognition is irrevesrible.
As Patrick Devedjian stated during the debate on a bill panalyzing
Genocide denial at French parliament, "by denying the Genocide,
Turkey denies its past. The truth behind the Armenian Genocide must
not be questioned, but rather, supported by a political step."
"I'm sure both left- and right-wing parliamentarians are determined
to vote for the victory of justice," the policitican said.
As Devedjian reminded, in 1919 Turkey had already recongized the
Armenian Genocide.
Today, December 22, the French parliament is debating the bill,
which envisages a year in jail and a fine of 45,000 euros for those
who publicly deny the Armenian Genocide in France.
