    PanARMENIAN.Net - The bill penalizing the Armenian Genocide denial
    was discussed during Philippe Labro's "Langue de bois s'abstenir"
    weekly program on Direct 8 French TV channel.

    "French President Nicolas Sarkozy pledged to adopt the Genocide
    bill and the first lady of France, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy is involved
    in this," Turkish media quoted journalist Chloe Leprince as saying
    during the program.

    On January 23 the French Senate passed the bill with 127 votes for
    and 86 against.

    On December 22, 2011, it was adopted by the French National Assembly.

    The bill will 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.

    The bill is believed to take effect in France within two weeks,
    after it will be signed by President.
