Tert.am
25.01.12
No one has doubts that French President Nicolas Sarkozy will enact the
Senate approved bill criminalizing the Genocide denial, an Armenian
political analyst has said.
Speaking at a Moscow-Yerevan TV bridge earlier today, Alexander
Iskandaryan, the director of the Caucasus Institute, said the bill
is of great significance not only for Armenia, but also many ethnic
Armenians around the world.
"The Armenian Genocide recognition train has been set in motion, and
it is no longer possible to halt it. These events are very important
for this region, as well as Europe," he noted. "The issue has both a
moral and political significance. I don't think what happened changed
Turkey's attitude to France."
Speaking further, Director of Russia's Political and Social Studies
Institute Vadim Zakharov stressed the importance of giving a worthy
attention to all those who contributed to the adoption of the bill.
He said France should set an example for other countries.
"It is time for other countries' parliaments to recognize the Armenian
Genocide," he stressed.
