    FRENCH-ARMENIANS SAY RULING OF CONSTITUTIONAL COUNCIL OF FRANCE HAS POLITICAL REASONS

    ARMENPRESS

    YEREVAN

    YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 29, ARMENPRESS. The French Armenians are
    disappointed with the ruling of the Constitutional Council of France
    to recognize the bill penalizing the denial of the Armenian Genocide
    unconstitutional, says the statement of the council coordinating
    French-Armenian organizations. The statement runs that the decision
    of the Constitutional Council has been agreed not with legal but
    political reasons.

    "With this decision the Constitutional Council admits that the
    two genocides recognized by France are not equal. While the bill
    authored by Valerie Boyer was called to harmonize this inequality,"
    the statement says.

    Referring to the talks about the contradiction of the Armenian bill
    and freedom of speech, the French Armenians claim that the freedom
    of speech should be restricted in case it offends representatives of
    other nations or an individual in general.

    "The Constitutional Council retreated before the Turkish lobby which
    is inadmissible and doubts the independence of institutions of our
    republic," the statement runs.

    Besides, the French Armenians doubted the impartiality of certain
    members of the Constitutional Council. The French Armenians are looking
    forward for decisive steps of presidential candidates Nicolas Sarkozy
    and Francois Hollande toward the adoption of the new bill.
