    YEREVAN, MARCH 1, ARMENPRESS: French lawmakers must continue
    working to protect their compatriots from denial, co-chairman of the
    Armenian-French friendship group, Socialist party senator Philippe
    Kaltenbach said in his statement. "Denial in France should not be
    tolerated as it is disrespect for our values. We cannot be passive
    in these conditions," the senator said.

    Kaltenbach offered setting up a parliamentary group which will deal
    with the gathering of information over the issue of penalizing the
    denial of genocides in France. He sent a letter to his Armenian
    partners of the friendship group asking assistance in gathering
    information about denial.

    The Constitutional Council of France ruled the bill criminalizing the
    denial of the Armenian Genocide unconstitutional. After the ruling
    President of France Nicolas Sarkozy assigned Ministry of Justice to
    draft a new bill.
