    EXPERT SAYS NEW BILL TO BE PRESENTED IN FRANCE WILL BE APPROVED

    YEREVAN

    YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 29, ARMENPRESS: The Constitutional Council of France
    recognized the bill criminalizing the denial of the Armenian Genocide
    unconstitutional, which was rather expected. Speaking to Armenpress
    director of Oriental Studies Institute of National Academy of Sciences
    Ruben Safrastyan said the decision was the result of pressures by
    Turkey. "This decision has no sensible logic. There is no explanation
    why the bill penalizing the denial of genocides does not correspond
    to France's Constitution," Safrastyan stressed. He said the offer
    of President of France Nicolas Sarkozy to draft a new bill was quite
    expected but it would hardly be done before the elections.

    If President Sarkozy be successive for the second time as well and
    starts the process, it will be approved by the National Assembly
    and the Senate and the Constitutional Council will not take such
    responsibility any more.
