PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian media pays little attention to the law
criminalizing the Armenian Genocide denial in Slovakia, head of the
Forum of Armenian Associations of Europe (FAAE) said.
"The scandal involving the Slovakian envoy is also worthy of broad
coverage. Everyone to deliberately negate Armenian Genocide in Slovakia
will get five years in jail and three years in case of unintentional
denial. Given the law, Slovakian ambassador to Armenia and Azerbaijan
Josef Migash must be kept accountable for Genocide denial," Ashot
Grigoryan said.
He further noted that Chairman of the Supreme Court Stefan Harabin
invited Turkish Minister Egemen BagıÅ~_, who already denied Armenian
Genocide in Switzerland, to do the same in Slovakia.
In September, 2009, a law criminalizing the Armenian Genocide denial
was adopted in Slovakia.
