Tert.am
25.01.12
The French bureau of the Armenian Council of Europe applauds
all Armenians and expresses gratitude to the French people,
Parliamentarians and Senators who ensured truth and historical justice
can prevail over those who wish to revise history through lies and
threats, http://massispost.com reports.
Yesterday the law making it a crime to deny the 1915 killings of
Armenians as genocide finalized its legislative process and passed
both houses of France's parliament.
The French bureau of the Armenian Council of Europe now calls on French
President Nicolas Sarkozy to sign the bill into law and finalize the
process to punish those who negate and distort historical fact.
It is time for Turkey and the successive Turkish ruling elites since
1915, who made such a law necessary in this day in age by continuously
propagandizing nationalistic lies, to come to terms with its past and
face the historical reality that is the Armenian Genocide. No person
or nation must diminish the importance of historical truth.
While the French law will be the FIRST in the European Union, the
Armenian Council of Europe urges all EU nations and none EU nations
to follow the French parliamentarians' example and take courageous
steps recognizing the Armenian Genocide and reprimanding those who
negate historical truths.
