    TURKEY CLUTCHES AT STRAWS TO PROMOTE GENOCIDE DENIAL POLICY

    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.
