PanARMENIAN.Net - There are several reasons for adoption of the bill
on penalizing the Armenian Genocide denial, member of France-Armenia
interparliamentary friendship group said.
"First, how come human rights are violated in a democratic country?
The very denial of this fact stains us with the guilt of
extermination," Francois Pupponi said.
"Second, we have to vote "for" in the name of Armenians who survived
the Genocide, who found shelter in France. And third, we have to act
for the political unity of the Left and Right, both having promised
the Armenian community to pass the bill. And finally we need to remove
all taboos for establishment fruitful cooperation with Turkey. We might
as well speak to them about the Kurdish and other issues," he said.
