Considering the French bill criminalizing denial of Armenian
allegations regarding the incidents of 1915, France's former
Justice Minister Robert Badinter indicates that the bill violates
constitutional principles.
In an article entitled "Parliament is not a Tribunal" which was
published on the French daily Le Monde, Badinter stresses that contrary
to the Holocaust, the "Armenian genocide" was not officially declared
as a "genocide" and thus violates constitutional principles.
"The French Parliament has not received any constitutional authority
to tell the story. It is up to historians to do this," writes Badinter.
