WE WILL COOPERATE WITH FRENCH LAWYERS ON CRIMINALIZING THE DENIAL OF GENOCIDE IN FRANCE. ARA TORANIAN
YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 7, ARMENPRESS: The claim of Armenian lawyer living
in Marseille Philippe Grigorian to the State Council of France is
a serious step and we shouldn't rely on it. This was stated by the
Chairman of Armenian organizations in France Ara Toranian during
the interview with Armenpress, adding that the lawyer had a right to
continue his work, but "we cannot make any statements from his behalf".
He has stressed that despite he is not a lawyer he knows that
everything is in the frames of law. "Though I am not aware of the
details as the lawyer has done everything by his own, we will use
other political powers and will work with French lawyers to attain
the criminalization of Genocide's denial" informed Toranian.
French Armenia lawyer Philippe Grigorian has applied to the State
Council of France to revoke the decision of the French Constitutional
Council which considered the law criminalizing the denial of Armenian
Genocide as anticonstitutional. Philippe Grigorian and Deputy Valerie
Boyer were the initiators of the draft law. The lawyer is going to
apply to The European Union Court of Human Rights.
