The government will not support the proposed legislation to
criminalize denial of Armenian genocide that the Senate reviews today,
saying the current legal arsenal was enough, said Minister of Budget
François Baroin, AFP reports.
"The current law allows to respond to these issues - Holocaust denial
in general and the Armenian Genocide, in particular,' Baroin said at
the Council ministers.
"France has publicly acknowledged the Armenian genocide with the law
of 29 January 2001. French law also punishes any incitement to
discrimination, hatred or racial violence and France
still believes that the denial in all its forms is unacceptable,' he
told reporters.
