/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Segolene Royal, candidate to the election for
the French Republic's presidency, indicated to be favorable to the
penalizing negation of the Armenian Genocide, specifying that "it will
be the position" of her Foreign Minister if she is elected, independent
French journalist Jean Eckian told PanARMENIAN.Net. "Negationnism
is an attitude, a perversion of the spirit which makes me horror
personally. And this, whatever the circumstance, whatever the
genocide," she explained in an interview to the French review Nouvelles
d' Armenie Magazine.
Last year French National Assembly adopted a bill, which penalizes
negation of the Armenian Genocide.
Currently, this clause is on standby to be endorsed by Senat. On
the other hand, Ms Royal declared to be favorable to entry of Turkey
in the European Union, contrary to the other principal candidates:
Nicolas Sarkozy, Francois Bayrou and Jean-Marie Lepen.
