    EXPERT SAYS FIGHT FOR PENALIZING DENIAL OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE TO GET NEW STIMULUS

    YEREVAN

    YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 29, ARMENPRESS: In this phase of the penalization of
    the denial of the Armenian Genocide the winners were Turkish pressures,
    threats and bribe, responsible for the political affairs office of the
    ARF Bureau Kiro Manoyan said, adding that the works in that direction
    must continue with new stimulus.

    "There are people in the Constitutional Council who are members
    of pro-Turkish organizations, or former political figures-lawyers
    who were against this idea," the speaker said. He said the decision
    does not bring any respect to France. Manoyan noted that France has
    penalized the denial of Holocaust. He said it is necessary to exert
    great efforts for finding grounding for criminalization of denial of
    one genocide and for not penalizing the denial of the other.

    Kiro Manoyan described the assignment of President of France Nicolas
    Sarkozy to draft a new bill as "assignment of good will". Sarkozy
    will not manage to complete the process: the parliament is going for
    vacation in one-two days. Manoyan believes that the decision of the
    French Constitutional Council is not only result of Turkey's pressures:
    the statements of U.S. secretary of state, representatives of certain
    European establishments also had their role.

    It was the most convenient moment for adoption of the bill but the
    speaker said such moment may appear again.
