The government will not support the proposed legislation to criminalize denial of “Armenian genocide” that the Senate reviews today, saying the current legal arsenal was enough, said Minister of Budget François Baroin, AFP reports.
Reminding that France acknowledged Armenian allegations regarding 1915 incidents in Ottoman Empire with the law of 29 January 2001, Baroin said, “French law also punishes any incitement to discrimination, hatred or racial violence and France still believes that the denial in all its forms is unacceptable,” Public Radio of Armenia reported.
