PARIS. - French President Francois Hollande and the FM Laurent Fabius
claim the same thing on bill criminalizing the denial of the Armenia
Genocide, Rhône-Alpes regional MP Hilda Tchoboian told Armenian
News-NEWS.am adding one of them calms down the Armenians, the other
the Turks.
In fact, France currently faces a quite complicated situation on the
issue. The highest administration tries not to hurt both sides. On the
one hand the President has to keep his election promise and submit a
bill on criminalizing the denial of the Genocide, on the other, he is
targeted at improving relations with Turkey,' Tchoboian said.
`Hollande has made clear that the new bill will not be similar to the
previous one, which made it vague. At the same time, it is possible to
claim that it will not satisfy the French-Armenians' expectations.'
As for the meeting between the President and the representatives of
the Armenian community, which was so much spoken about, Tchoboian
believes it will not be in the near future. In addition, she offered
that the French authorities may initiate a dialogue between Armenia
and Turkey to come out of the complicated situation.
