Armenia's Foreign Minister Edward Nanbandian has thanked France's
top political leadership, the French National Assembly and the entire
French nation for the adoption of a bill on criminal punishment for
the public denial of the genocide of ethnic Armenians in the Ottoman
Empire in 1915.
"By passing the bill, France has reaffirmed its status of a cradle of
human rights and has demonstrated a yet another time its commitment
to general human values," Nalbandian said.
"The French people, which recognized the fact of the genocides of
Armenians at the level of law ten years ago, showed that human rights
are a superior value," he said.
"Thursday's bill confirmed once again that crimes against humanity
don't have the period of limitations and their denial should be
subjected to an unambiguous condemnation," Nalbandian said.
