Tert.am

The French parliament is continuing the debate over the bill
criminalizing the denial of Armenian Genocide.
Several members of the National Assembly, the lower chamber of the
country's chief lawmaking body, have delivered speeches, backing the
legal initiative.
Francoise Holland of the Socialist Party said he will vote in favor of
the bill authored by Valerie Boyer. He called upon the other lawmakers
to follow his example "to finalize the draft"
Referring to Turkey's threats, Boyer said such policies demonstrate
the country's disrespectful attitude to France's hegemony. She too,
called upon her colleagues to approve the bill, adding that it is
not directed against any country.
Most of the lawmakers urged the Turkish authorities to face their
own history, putting an end to the current denialism.
