Wednesday May 10, the Legislative Commission of the French Parliament turned down the draft aiming at penalizing the negation of the Armenian Genocide. This decision followed a request of French President Jacques Chirac. The French deputies remain free to take part in programmed work on May 18. “We are afraid that certain deputies sacrifice the memory of the victims of the Armenian genocide, yielding to the political and economic pressures exerted by Turkey,” said Alexis Govciyan, chairman of the Coordination Council of the ArmenianOrganizations of France (CCAF).
