PARIS. - Famous singer Charles Aznavour, director Robert Guédiguian,
lawyer Serge Klarsfeld, philosophers Bernard-Henri Lévy and Michel
Onfray, as well as Turkish writer Erol Özkoray have signed a joint
appeal aiming to persuade the French Senate to ratify the bill
penalizing the Armenian Genocide, passed by the French National
Assembly last December.
`As Elie Wiesel has written, the denial of the genocide is killing its
victims for the second time. We welcome the adoption of the bill on
racism, discrimination and denial by the French National Assembly on
December 22.
Our target is the ban of denial on state level that the Turkish
authorities bring up to France. In order the text to become a law, we
call the French President, the government and the leading parties to
confirm their gesture and let the Senate ratify the bill,' reads the
appeal published in Le Journal du Dimanche.
