FRENCH ARMENIANS DEMAND TO ADOPT BILL CONDEMNING DENIAL OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

One of the Armenian organizations of France – VAN (Armenian vigilance against denial) – is demanding to adopt the additional second item to the bill on the Armenian Genocide recognition. This item, in the opinion of the initiators, should state active or passive denial of the genocide as a punishable offence. January 25 members of the initiative group will give a press conference in one of the halls of the French National Assembly.
