PARIS. - President of France Nicolas Sarkozy defended criminalization
of the denial of Armenian Genocide during the latest breakfast of
parliamentary majority, reports French Marianne2.
The law for Recognition of the Genocide was adopted in 2001. The draft
banning the denial of it was brought to the Senate by the Socialists
and awaits a discussion session.
According to French newspaper, the Government has always been against
adoption of this draft, considering the existing legislative arsenal
quite sufficient. The Barons the Union for a Popular Movement invited
by Sarkozy mentioned that this initiative could harm relations with
Turkey, which is a large market for French companies, and even with
Germany, who has a dense Turkish community.
The leaders of the majority believe that any attempts to seduce
Armenians in France will prove useless, since this electorate mostly
favors Sarkozy's opponent Francois Hollande.
