YEREVAN.- France's moves on Armenian Genocide bill are conditioned
by country's interests, said political analyst Arayik Sargsyan.
In this context, Sargsayn who is deputy head of Russia's Geopolitics
Problems Academy, stressed that French-Turkish relations are not
disrupted. On the contrary, the countries intend to jointly adopt
sanctions against Syria.
According to the political analyst, the matter concerns possible
France's intervention into Syria through the territory of Turkey. The
fate of Armenian bill depends on development of relations between
Paris and Ankara, he said.
"I am a descendant of Armenian Genocide survivor. My grand-father
lost his parents during the 1915 events. But let us leave the dead
alone and face the situation - France is making moves meeting its
own interests," he added.
In January the French Senate adopted a bill criminalizing denial of
the genocides, including the Armenian Genocide. However, a group of
senators appealed the decision in the Constitutional Council.
