    Palais de l'Elysee has responded to the French-Armenian Association's
    petition regarding adoption of a bill penalizing the Armenian Genocide
    denial, which was one of French President Francois Hollande's campaign
    promises.

    According to Nouvelles d'Armenie, after several months of expectation,
    the Armenia Association received a response from the staff of the
    French President on July 23.

    The letter addressed to the Armenia Association Chairman
    Krikor Amirzayan says that Francois Hollande received the
    statement concerning criminalization of the Armenian Genocide denial.

    The letter also points out that by adopting the 29 Jan 2001 law,
    France recognized the gravity of the atrocities against the Armenian
    people. France's National Education Minister Vincent Peillon said on
    24 April 2013 that in accordance with the commitments assumed by the
    French President, the Government wants to find legal bases that do
    not run counter to the Constitution, so that no one could denigrate
    the Armenian people's suffering or deny what happened, the letter
    says.      

    To note, over the past few months the Armenia Association
    initiated a campaign of petitions demanding that French President
    Francois Hollande should keep his campaign promise concerning the
    penalization of the Armenian Genocide denial. The petition signed by
    hundreds of people was sent to Palais de l'Elysee on April 24.
