By the decision on criminalizing of Armenian genocide denial France
has indirectly made more active the process of the Armenian genocide
recognition in the USA. In the USA Armenian Diaspora applied to
President Barack Obama with a demand to finally fulfill his electoral
promise, political expert Aleksandr Markarov told journalists today.
"Moreover, the French sample may lead to adoption of similar decisions
in other leading European countries, first of all in Germany. In
general, adoption of the bill in the French Senate will give new
impulse to the Armenian-French relations, which have developing
rather effectively for the last period of time. Ankara is trying to
prevent signing of the bill by President Nicolas Sarkozy with a help
of the pro-Turkish French deputies. Taking into consideration the fact
that some of them said they are going to apply to the Constitutional
Council of France, the given step may just slow down signing of the
document, which will be signed by the head of state sooner or later",
- Markarov said.
