/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Russia can join the states where public denial
of some historical facts is rated to a crime. The motion initiator,
Speaker of the Russian Duma Boris Gryzlov said the measure will be
applied to those justifying the crimes of the Nazi during the years
of the Great Patriotic War.
In the opinion of Andrey Svetenko, a commentator of Mayak Radio,
the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire should be included in
the list of crimes.
"Passage of the Armenian Genocide bill by the French parliament can
serve as an example. The point is that Turks do not acknowledge the
fact of genocide. They insist it was a liquidation of parricides but
not an ethnic massacre. No matter that the number of these "parricides"
exceeded a million, including children and helpless old people. This
is a denial of denial.
It shouldn't be. Gryzlov's proposal is a right step.
Facts are stubborn. We should not tolerate when black is not named
black," Svetenko said.
