Freedom of speech in France cannot walk hand in hand with denial of
genocide: Bruno Le Roux

YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 5, ARMENPRESS: The delegation of the Socialist
faction of the Parliament of the Republic of France paid a tribute in
the memory of the victims of the Armenian Genocide at the
Tsitsernakaberd Memorial.
Armenpress reports that the delegation of the French parliamentarians,
headed by the Head of the faction Bruno Le Roux, was met by the
Director of the Armenian Genocide Museum Institute Hayk Demoyan and
guided to the Memorial Complex. Here the delegation laid a wreath and
at the eternal fire the guests laid flowers and bowed in the memory of
the victims.
Bruno Le Roux stated that he had the opportunity to visit the memorial
when Francois Hollande had not been the President yet and was involved
in the delegation. Concerning the importance of the new bill
(represented by the deputy Valerie Boyer) criminalizing the denial of
the Armenian Genocide, the PM believes that its adoption will
enable building a new future taking into account the reality. "The
history shows that to show the future we need to take into account the
reality, though some states and individuals deny it. The Armenian
Genocide is a fact that for France it is necessary to summarize in the
framework of the law that any denial should get its response. France
is a country, which has gone ahead in the recognition of the Armenian
Genocide and has values, which should be preserved", - said the
socialist PM.
