A member of the French National Assembly, Valerie Boyer, has promised
the Armenians to bring to the parliament a new law penalizing the
denial of the Genocide.
The French-Armenian publication Nouvelles d'Armenie has quoted the
Socialist lawmaker as telling Armenia's Public TV channel that she
wishes to bring her initiative to an end. Boyer's earlier bill
condemning the denial of the Armenian Genocide received approval by
both houses of the French parliament, but the country's Constitutional
Council struck it down in February, declaring the document
unconstitutional.
"We are now waiting to see if President Holland will hold his campaign
promise to enact a law criminalizing the Armenian Genocide, but today
is a different policy towards Turkey," Boyer said in the interview.
