Valerie Boyer, a French M.P. who drafted the bill criminalizing
the Armenian genocide denial, has been made a target by the Turk
activists. She has received death threats following the passing of a
bill making the denial of the Armenian genocide in Turkey a criminal
offence. Valerie Boyer has also been threatened with rape and torture.
As a result of these threats, she and members of her family have
been given police protection. Since the passing of that bill in the
French National Assembly, the Turkish government has launched an
intimidatory campaign targeting French politicians. To become law,
the bill needs to be ratified by the Senate (the French Upper House
). This incident illustrates beyond doubt that Turkey does not have the
required democratic credentials and the cultural profile to be a member
of the commonwealth of civilised nations, my.telegaph.co.uk reports.
To recall, Boyer's website was subjected to numerous attacks by
hackers on the Christmas day.
