FRENCH MP VALERIE BOYER HONORS THE VICTIMS OF THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
15:38 24.04.2013
French Parliament Member Valerie Boyer, who spearheaded last year's
effort to pass a bill criminalizing the denial of the Armenian
Genocide, visited Tsitsernakaberd today to pay tribute to the memory
of the Armenian genocide victims.
"I am very touched to be in Yerevan for this occasion. It is an
absolute necessity for the Armenian Genocide to gain international
recognition. Recognition is a question of dignity and honour, not
only to recognize the past but also to reinforce ideals of human
rights which are of great importance to the world we live in today,"
Valerie Boyer said.
After successful passage of the bill in the French Parliament
last December, on January 23, the French Senate passed the bill
criminalizing the Armenian Genocide.
Later, the French Constitutional Council ruled that the bill was
unconstitutional.
