    FRENCH LAWMAKERS URGE TURKEY TO END DENIALISM

    Tert.am
    22.12.11

    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.
