May 4, 2011 - 21:08 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net -
French Senate's failing to adopt a bill criminalizing the denial of
Armenian Genocide is linked with current French authorities' position,
according to Armenian Academy of Sciences' Oriental Studies Institute
director.
As Ruben Safrastyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, at present,
France is rather active in Libya military mission, which increases the
importance of Turkey's position on the issue. `Unfortunately this
hasn't been the first time when a superpower breaks its promise to
serve its own interests,' the expert said, however, noting that France
might change its position upon completion of military operations in
Libya.
The expert gave positive assessment to the position on the Armenian
community of France, urging them to continue working towards adoption
of the bill.
The French Senate on Wednesday, May 4 rejected a bill penalizing the
denial of Armenian Genocide.
