Turkic World Mathematical Society decries French parliament`s genocide
denial bill
Baku December 30
The Turkic World Mathematical Society issued the statement strongly
condemning the French National Assemblys approval of the bill
penalizing genocide denial. The statement in particular says:
We members of the Turkic World Mathematical Society (TWMS) strongly
condemn the French National Assemblys approval of the bill penalizing
genocide denial.
TWMS expresses its surprise as this step contradicts freedom of speech
and expression as basic principles of democracy in Europe, and runs
counter to Frances obligations towards respecting human rights and
fundamental freedoms. TWMS expresses its deep regret that the French
National Assembly enacted this bill but turned a blind eye to the fact
that hundreds of thousand of Azerbaijanis were subjected to ethnic
cleansing in the occupied territories of Nagorno-Karabakh.
The events of 1915 were not Armenian genocide indeed. In fact, as
prove the historical sources in this opposition were killed more than
500 thousand Turkish people.
The French National Assemblys decision is specially strange when
globalization of all spheres of human life requires consolidation of
potential of nations for the solution of global problems of
civilization. The French Nation presented to the World such great
mathematicians as Lagrange, Cauchy, Fourier, Lions and we believe that
the present generation of French scientists will protest this
decision."
