    YEREVAN, AUGUST 30, ARMENPRESS: France's President Francois Hollande
    hosted country's Ex- Minister of Justice Robert Badinter. Armenpress
    reports that Nouvelles d'Armenie does not exclude that interlocutors
    may have discussed the issue of criminalizing Armenian Genocide
    denial as well. Armenian press being published in France reminds that
    Armenian community has great expectations from the Socialist Party
    concerning the issue of adoption of the draft criminalizing Armenian
    Genocide denial.

    It is planned to have the first meeting of Armenian community with
    President of France Francois Hollande at the beginning of autumn
    during which only one issue is going to be discussed- the development
    of the draft criminalizing Armenian Genocide denial.

    Hollande has already reaffirmed promises given in his election period.

    The draft criminalizing genocides' denial was accepted by the
    National Assembly of the country on December 22, 2011. The bill
    was approved on January 23 , 2012 by Senate of France. Although,
    The French Constitutional Council declared unconstitutional the bill
    criminalizing the Armenian Genocide denial passed by the National
    Assembly and the Senate.

    After approving aforecited bill, Armenian Genocide Denial on the
    territory of France would have been defined a year of imprisonment
    or a fine of 45 thousand euros.
