PanARMENIAN.Net - Slovak politician, member of the National Council
of the Slovak Republic František Mikloško urged main actors of
the European Union to change the principles and tools of shaping
future Europe.
"EU doesn't conceive yet that the Armenian Genocide denial led to such
disasters as Nazism, Holocaust and later communist repressions," Mr.
Mikloško told a press conference, noting Slovakia as the first
European country to adopt the bill criminalizing the Armenian Genocide
denial.
"The French Constitutional Council is likely to pass its decision
on February 28. However, in light of recent developments there are
no real chances for passage of the bill," Slovak politician said,
adding that each human life is more valuable that freedom of speech.
On January 23, the French Senate passed the bill criminalizing the
Armenian Genocide. If signed into law, the bill will impose a 45,000
euro fine and a year in prison for anyone in France who denies this
crime against humanity committed by the Ottoman Empire.
