    BELGIAN SENATE CONSIDERS BILL ON CRIMINAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR DENIAL OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ The bill on criminal responsibility for denial
    of the Armenian Genocide was included in the agenda of the Belgian
    Senate. It should be noted that by a majority vote the Belgian
    Parliament had passed the bill, according to which those, who deny
    the Armenian Genocide, can be arrested or will have to pay a large
    administrative fine. After being approved by the Senate, the document
    will be submitted for ratification to the Belgian King. At that there
    is a certain trend available - as a rule the Senate approves documents
    adopted by the Parliament. The document provides for imprisonment
    from 8 days to a year and a money fine from 26 to 5000 euros for
    denial of the Armenian Genocide. The punishment will spread on all
    those, who will undermine the Genocide, protect of support those, who
    have committed it or any crime against humanity. Moreover, justice
    mechanisms will allow Belgium to indict any EU country denying the
    Armenian Genocide.
