French Parliament Member Valerie Boyer has introduced a new bill
criminalizing denial of the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey. The
parliamentarian made such statement to the Turkish Cihan media outlet.
She said the document has been submitted to all the parliamentary
forces of France and over 40 MPs have already signed it.
Boyer recalled that yet on 24 April French President Francois Hollande
promised to sign the resolution criminalizing the Armenian Genocide
denial if the document is passed by the French National Assembly.
Boyer is convinced that the president will fulfill his promise. She
said the massacre of the national minorities in the Middle East by the
ISIS fighters makes such document extremely urgent. The parliamentarian
believes that if passed earlier, this document could prevent what is
happening now in the Middle East.
Earlier, Valerie Boyer introduced a similar bill and the French
Parliament passed it. However, the Constitutional Court recognized
the Bill it unconstitutional and declined it.
