PanARMENIAN.Net - French Senate's adoption of the bill criminalizing
the Armenian Genocide denial affected activation of the Azerbaijani
policy regarding recognition of the so-called "Khojalu genocide,"
according to Armenian expert.
Dwelling on the letter Azerbaijani girl issued to Armenian and French
Presidents, urging them to recognize the so-called "Khojalu genocide",
Sargis Asatryan deemed it a PR-step aimed at drawing the international
community's attention.
According to the expert, neither Armenian not French authorities will
respond to the letter.
"French response is likely to be a neutral statement, while Armenia
may deliver a media level answer," the political analyst said.
Earlier, an Azeri girl sent a letter to Presidents of Armenia and
France Serzh Sargsyan and Nicolas Sarkozy requesting them to recognize
the "Khojalu genocide."
On January 23, the French Senate passed the bill criminalizing the
Armenian Genocide denial with 127 votes for and 86 against. If signed
into law by President, the bill will impose a 45,000 euro fine and
a year in prison for anyone in France who denies this crime against
humanity committed by the Ottoman Empire.
