The Coordination Council of Armenian Organizations of France (CCAF)
has condemned the French Senate's failure to pass the bill on
criminalization of the Armenian Genocide denial.
`No legal remedy was found to stop the policy of denial which is
fervently spread by Turkish websites. The result of May 4 hypocritical
vote was achieved through efforts of the majority party,' the CCAF
said in a statement.
`To favor Turkey, the government and President of France infringed the
interests of French Armenians, who are mostly heirs of the Armenian
Genocide survivors. The CCAF calls on all French citizens of Armenian
descent to make relevant conclusions after such perfidious behavior,'
it said.
