According to The Brussels Journal:
`On Thursday 12 October, the lower house of the French Parliament
adopted a bill which would provide a jail sentence and a heavy fine to
anyone denying the genocide committed by Ottoman Turks against the
Armenians in 1915. The bill was passed in the National Assembly by 106
votes to 19. The punishment to be issued for the denial of the Armenian
genocide ` set at a maximum of one year prison term and 45,000 euros
(£30,000) fine ` is equal to the punishment already dealt under French
law for the denial of the holocaust.'
