YEREVAN. - It is obvious that the bill criminalizing denial of
genocides in France has become an inseparable part of the state's
domestic and foreign policy, expert Alexander Iskandaryan said at a
press conference on Monday.
The French Constitutional Council rejected last week the bill
criminalizing denial of genocides, including the Armenian Genocide.
While, the French President Nicolas Sarkozy supported the bill and
promised to introduce a new one taking into account the Council's
remarks.
On this regard, the bill rejection brought forward a serious pressure
by Turkey and an intrigue inside France.
According to the expert, the issue did not related to Armenia anyway
rather than the inner-political shifts within France, while the attempt
to pass the bill influenced on Turkey's positions and information
on Armenia. Besides, French presidential elections are too close to
decide the issue during this period. Future of the bill will depend
on who will be elected France's President, Iskandaryan said.
