YEREVAN, OCTOBER 24, ARMENPRESS. Head of the Socialist Party of the
French Parliament Bruno Le Roux reconfirmed the intention of his party
regarding the bill on criminalization of the Armenian Genocide denial
during the meeting with the delegation of Co-ordination Council of
Armenian Organizations of France (CCAF). Co-chairman of Co-ordination
Council of Armenian Organizations of France Ara Toranyan said this
in a conversation with "Armenpress". Toranyan said: "It was Bruno
Le Roux's Socialist Party that introduced this bill to the French
Parliament six years ago. The same party introduced the bill to the
Senate two years ago and, hence, we are expecting them to continue
the way they have taken."
According to the co-chairman of the council among other things Bruno
Le Roux mentioned that nothing has changed, just it has been a short
time they came to power and they just have to wait, because nothing
has changed. The French President Francois Hollande must keep his
promise and they should introduce bill on criminalization of the
Armenian Genocide denial before April 24. In Toranyan's opinion
the upcoming meeting of the President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan and
the President of France Francois Hollande on November 12 is a good
occasion to talk about this on more official basis.
In a conversation with "Armenpress" the head of Hay Dat (Armenian
Cause) office in Paris Hrach Varjapetyan mentioned that the preparatory
works for the upcoming meeting of the President of Armenia Serzh
Sargsyan and the President of France Francois Hollande have already
started. They have already got in touch with the Elysian Palace and
the embassy is also involved in the works. Talking about the meeting
of the Armenian community with President Hollande he mentioned that
the time has not been clarified and this is the reason he does not
make any declaration yet.
