    The Constitutional Court of France on Tuesday repealed a law
    criminalizing denial of Armenian genocide, which had been adopted by
    the country's Senate

    Trend reports.

    Relevant information has been posted on the official website of the
    Constitutional Council of France.

    The Council justified it by the fact that the law contradicts Article
    33 of the Constitution of France and freedom of speech.

    On January 23, after an eight-hour debate, the Senate adopted the
    bill criminalizing denial of the alleged "Armenian genocide". Some
    127 senators voted in favor, while 86 voted against.
