PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkey seems so hopeless over the possibility of
adoption of the bill criminalizing Armenian Genocide denial by the
French Senate that it stands ready to use any statement to pursue
its denial policy.
Turkish ultra-nationalist Aydinlik newspaper recently placed French
politician Robert Badinter~Rs photo on its cover to express gratitude
for opposing the Genocide bill in the Senate as a tool to back its
denial policy.
Such a stance is deemed a little strange as a number of countries
have officially recognized the Armenian Genocide. A question arouses:
What can make Badinter to recognize Genocide as a fact?
Meanwhile, Turkish newspaper once again proved unfoundedness of
Turkey~Rs diplomacy that repeatedly resorts to aforesaid steps to
promote its ideas.
Earlier, Constitutional Commission of the French Senate passed a
decision against debating of the bill criminalizing Armenian Genocide
denial, accepting Senators~R solicitation that oppose the aforesaid
legislation.
On December 22, 2011, French National Assembly passed a bill
criminalizing public denial of the Armenian Genocide. If passed and
signed into law by the Senate, the bill would 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.
