    French President François Hollande is planning to visit Armenia on
    April 24, the date Armenians commemorate the alleged Armenian genocide
    in the last days of the Ottoman Empire, daily Hürriyet has reported,
    citing sources in the Elysee.

    Hollande accepted the invitation of Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan
    in November 2012 to visit Armenia in 2013, the report said, adding
    that Hollande aims to issue a `strong genocide message' to the
    Armenian community living in France before local elections in 2014.

    However, the French president will not bring forth the bill that
    criminalizes denial of Armenian genocide allegations to the Senate due
    to `technical difficulties' in the Constitution. The French
    Constitutional Council annulled the bill last year.
