A committee with the French parliament approved Wednesday an amendment
on Armenian allegations.
PARIS A committee with the French parliament approved Wednesday an
amendment that might avert a debate at the Senate floor on a bill
that makes it a crime to deny Armenian allegations on the Ottoman
era incidents of 1915.
The bill is set to come to the Senate floor next Monday but French
Senate members could vote to uphold the Legislations Committee's
decision and drop the bill off the agenda without debating it.
The Chairperson of the Committee on Laws at the French Senate, Jean
Pierre Sueur, said their decision not to place an Armenian resolution
earlier adopted by the French Parliament on the agenda of the French
Senate was taken with the thought that the resolution was against
the French constitution.
