French official wants to submit new bill on Armenian Genocide
May 07, 2011 | 04:16
Deputy Mayor of the French city of Sarcelles Francois Pupponi said he
intends to once again present a bill criminalizing the Armenian
Genocide in the National Assembly of France.
The move came after French Senate rejected the bill penalizing denial
of the Armenian Genocide on Wednesday with 196 votes `against' and 74
`for'.
`We have to go back into battle,' he said adding that new text should
be submitted to the National Assembly, reported Nouvelles d`Arménie,
newspaper of Armenians of France.
Presidential election can further the struggle as candidates will have
to adopt official position, he said addressing hundreds of Armenian
demonstrators gathered near the French Senate.
Incumbent President Nicolas Sarkozy promised his support for
ratification of the bill prior to his election as a president in 2007.
