PARIS. - French President Nikolas Sarkozy has not met Armenian
Community in France yet, Hilda Tchoboian, MP of Rhone-Alpes region
told Armenian News-NEWS.am. She added that she will not participate
in the meeting as she represents an opposition.
According to her, discussions are underway on this subject but nothing
has been announced officially yet.
Commenting on the French Constitutional Council's decision banning
the law on criminalizing genocide denials, including the Armenian
Genocide, she said that the bill will be submitted again.
"That is not a question that can be solved in one day. It is quite
possible that after the presidential elections in May the issue will
appear on the agenda again but not at once, maybe after 6 months or
a year."
To note, the French Constitutional Court announced the law
criminalizing denial of genocides including the Armenian Genocide to
be unconstitutional on Tuesday.
To remind, the bill on criminalizing denial of genocides was accepted
by the French parliament on December 22, 2011 than was turned to law
on January 23, 2012 by the French Senate.
