The French public continues discussing the matter as to whether
their country needs a draft law that criminalizes the denial of the
Armenian Genocide.
Newsring website of France continues its online opinion poll, whose
current results are virtually split. From the 16,990 respondents who
have participated so far, 51 percent are in favor of and 49 percent
are against the passing of such bill in France.
To note, French President Francois Hollande recently confirmed
his pledge to adopt this law, when French FM Laurent Fabius'
announcement-that his country might not pass a new bill on
criminalizing the Armenian Genocide's denial-had caused concern among
the Armenian community.
But the President's office was careful with respect to this legal
measure, which the Government will use in order to fulfill Holland's
promise, and it notes that this matter is being studied.
So, the French Presidential Palace did not clarify as to whether or
not the obligation which Hollande assumed will actually become a law,
and stressed that everything will depend on the study results.
