YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 3, ARMENPRESS: The Coordination Council of Armenian
Organizations in France has circulated a statement before discussion
of the Armenian Bill at the country's Constitutional Council. The
statement calls on the French-Armenians to concentrate their forces
as much as possible, Armenpress reports.
"Adoption of the bill criminalizing the Armenian Genocide Denial
will be a world-level victory against the denial policy of Turkey,
which has invested its last forces in this fight," the statement runs.
French-Armenians note that the Turkish legislative and executive
authorities exert pressure on the members of the Constitutional
Council of France.
"Does the bill contradict the constitution? Our answer is very distinct
~V no. We do not demand caring attitude, but justice. We are fighting
not against the French citizens of Turkish descent, but against the
Turkish state denial policy," the statement reads.
The Coordination Council of Armenian Organizations in France is sure
that President Sarkozy will be resolute in bringing the work he has
started to an end. French-Armenians also trust in the soberness of
the members of the Constitutional Council and are ready even to apply
to the European Court of Human Rights for proving the truthfulness
of their work.
