    the mass media, ect. Accoring to the RA Governmental press service,
    George Coloumbier said he had agreed to perform the responsibilities
    of a co-rapporteur on Armenia since he was familiar with the history

    Armenians and he was among those deputies of the French Parliament who
    passed the law on recognition of the Armenian genocide.
