Adoption of the law criminalising the denial of the so-called
"Armenian genocide" by the French senate became a black mark on the
modern history of the country, deputy chairman and executive secretary
of the ruling party Yeni Azerbaijan Ali Akhmedov told Trend.
Akhmedov noted that this law is directed not only against Turkey,
but also opposes human rights and freedom of speech. "Trust in the
sincerity of France as a country that promotes democratic values will
decline seriously after this," he said adding that the law adopted
in France also affects the interests of Azerbaijan, because it shows
that France openly supports Armenia.
Some 45 out of 577 French MPs participated in the voting, while 38
voted for and seven against the adoption of the bill.
The bill demands about a year's imprisonment and a 45,000 euro fine
for denial of the so-called "Armenian genocide".
