French Party Urges €45 000 Fine for Armenian Genocide Denial

YEREVAN (YERKIR) – The French Socialist Party (PS) has brought up again a draft bill, which will penalize the denial of the Armenian Genocide, to the agenda of the French Parliament.

The draft bill, which will bring up to a year’s imprisonment and a fine of up to €45 000 for those who deny the Genocide, will be discussed and voted in the French Parliament on October 12, in line with a proposal by the party, reported Cihan news agency.

To note, the French Parliament passed the bill on the Armenian Genocide recognition in 2001. 1.5 million Armenians living in the Ottoman Empire were killed during World War I. Turkey denies this fact claiming that 200,000 Armenians died during forced migrations due to cold weather and bad transportation conditions, reported PanARMENIAN.Net.
