PARIS. - It is impossible to unequivocally say who France's Armenian
community will choose in the upcoming presidential elections in
the country, Rhône-Alpes regional MP Hilda Tchoboian told Armenian
News-NEWS.am.
"The Armenian community, just like the French, already has
predetermined candidates. And there is a very small segment which
is uncertain, and it could vote according to its mood on the last
day. It is impossible to give percentages," the French Armenian
politician noted.
In her view, an opinion was formed, after the bill that criminalizes
the denial of genocides-including the Armenian Genocide-, that the
French Armenian community's votes would go to President Nicolas
Sarkozy, if the latter is able to carry out the bill. "This is not
serious, since the Armenian community-whether right or left-already
has a clear position," Tchoboian argued.
"There are Armenians who will vote for Sarkozy for a given reason. If
the bill is passed and Sarkozy is able to ratify the law, the
community's uncertain segment could vote in his favor, [and thus]
will add to those who [already] will vote for him," Hilda Tchoboian
concluded.
