/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The bill on responsibility for denying genocide in EU
countries does not directly aim at denying the Armenian Genocide. Three
years ago the bill was blocked and now on Germany's initiative, which
currently holds EU presidency, again it is included in the agenda,
Chairman of the Armenian Federation of Europe (AEFJD) Hilda Tchoboyan
stated to a press conference in Yerevan. She said, in this case the
problem is not with Germany, which is for the adoption of the law,
but the general mood in the European Union. "Hearings will launch in
the European Parliament May 19, and if the bill is approved, it will
mean that it is compulsory for all EU member-states, after bringing the
new law to conformity with legislation of every country," she stressed.
Alongside, the AEFJD Chairman noted that "Hay Dat" Committees must
carry out a work aimed at recognizing the Armenian Genocide by
parliaments of different countries. "If it happens, as a result the
Armenian Genocide will be recognized by the international community,"
Tchoboyan told.
