16:17 30.05.2013
French MP Valerie Boyer said at the conference "Armenian Genocide:
A Bridge for the Reconciliation of Nations" hosted by the European
Parliament that she's ready to continue to insist for penalization
of the Armenian Genocide denial in the French Law.
Valerie Boyer, Member of the French Parliament from Union for a Popular
Movement (UMP) spoke about the bill presented by her in the National
Assembly of France in 2011 to penalize the denial of the Armenian
Genocide. The bill was adopted by the Parliament and the Senate of
France, but has been rejected by the Constitutional Council.
MP Boyer shared her own deception, but also her "readiness to continue
to insist for penalization of the Armenian Genocide denial in the
French law".
"Me and my family, we have been victims of threats; we needed to be
under police protection when the bill was adopted by the National
Assembly and the Senate. But this situation shows once more the
importance of the question of penalization of the Armenian Genocide
denial. I submitted two new proposals for law and I am also insisting
for the establishment of Investigation Committee, which will analyze
the role of third countries for the rejection of the bill in France",
said the French MP, Ararat News reports.
MP Boyer was also shocked by the fact that the French public disagreed
with the proposal for the penalization law and she underlined the
role of the French media for not covering the issue. However, the real
reasons for rejecting the text, the deep relations between French and
Turkish deep states and economical interests has not been explained
at the conference.
