Armenia
YEREVAN. - Reintroducing to the French Senate the bill, which
criminalizes Armenian Genocide's denial, is a mere individual
initiative by the Senate's socialist member, Philippe Kaldenbach,
Armenia's opposition ARF Dashnaktsutyun Party's Political Affairs
Bureau and Armenian Cause Office Head Giro Manoyan told Armenian
News-NEWS.am.
"Even though the Socialist Party's presidential nominee [Francois
Hollande] announced he is in favor of this matter," Manoyan noted,
adding that if the bill is included in the Senate's agenda, there is
a greater chance for it to pass this time.
"But in contrast to last time, this will be a new beginning this
time; that is, it must become a new bill and then be signed by
[French President Nicolas] Sarkozy," he stated.
And reflecting on Turkey's likely reaction to the bill, Giro Manoyan
argued that, just as in the previous times, Turkey will adopt the
position of being offended, but it will forget everything, in one or
two weeks, and relations between the two allies will continue.
