PanARMENIAN.Net - French Senate's adoption of the bill criminalizing
the Armenian Genocide denial is a vital step towards restoring
historical justice, a prominent Ukrainian author said.
`France always showed proper respect for the Armenians and the
Armenian Diaspora played a crucial role in the country. Hopefully,
many states will follow France's suit,' Vasily Shklyar told
Analitika.at.ua.
On January 23, the French Senate passed the bill criminalizing the
Armenian Genocide denial with 127 votes for and 86 against. To be
signed into law within 14 days, the bill will impose a 45,000 euro

against humanity committed by the Ottoman Empire.
