France's Socialist Party presidential candidate Francois Hollande
pledged to bring back the government-backed law criminalizing the
denial of the Armenian Genocide, after that country's Constitutional
Council controversially deemed a similar bill unconstitutional,
Asbarez reported, citing the Anatolia news agency.
Hollande promised to reopen the debate if he becomes the next
president.
"It is impossible to prepare a new draft due to the approaching end
of the legal year," Hollande said.
"But I will bring it up again, and try to live up to my promises."
France's Constitutional Council on Tuesday court's deemed the bill
passed by the French Senate on Jan. 23 unconstitutional.
Sarkozy has already demanded a new draft for the law.
Any new legislation on the matter will have to be introduced after
the presidential elections and would require the same legislative
process for approval.
