January 15, 2012 | 01:08
PARIS. - Pierre Nora, famous for his negativistic ideas, acknowledged
at a French Mémoire et Histoire (Memory and History) TV program by
Alain Finkielkraut on France Culture, that Turkey runs a state policy
of denial, Nouvelles d`Arménie reports.
He does not change his negative attitude on the bill criminalizing
denial of the Armenian Genocide and is for establishing an
international tribune by independent historians, who would have
expressed their opinion on the Armenian issue. According to him, it is
the only way to put an end to the problem between the two states.
`Turkey must recognize it,' he concluded.
Finkielkraut, who is also against the bill, stated that those debates
opened their eyes on obvious lie, which presents moderate Islamism by
the Turkish Justice and Development Party.
As Armenian News-NEWS.am has informed earlier, French National
Assembly passed the bill criminalizing denial of the Armenian
Genocide. The bill penalizes denial of the genocide intending a year
of imprisonment and/or 45,000 fine. French Senate will vote on it on
Jan. 23.
