“The adoption of this legislation by the French Parliament reflects both the growing isolation of Turkey as well as the strengthened resolve in France – and throughout Europe – that Turkey must end its denials and accept a just settlement of the Armenian Genocide,” Aram Hamparian, the Executive Director of the Armenian National Committee of America told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
To remind, October 12 the lower house of the French parliament with 106 votes ‘for’ and 19 ‘against’ passed a bill penalizing the Armenian Genocide denial. An analogous law was adopted in Switzerland in 2003.
