The Armenian issue may be one of the crucial factors not only for
the French elections but also for the future of Europe.
Ahead of the second round which by the way will be held on the same
day with the Armenian parliamentary elections, May 6, the acting
president Nicolas Sarkozy bets on ultra-nationalism, trying to attract
the votes for Marin Le Pen. But in order to receive these votes Sarkozy
will have to prove that he is for "clean" Europe, for the elimination
of migration, against Islam and against Turkey's membership to the
European Union. He has already spelled out all these theses but his
rhetoric will most probably become tougher ahead of the second stage.
Sarkozy is trying to involve the Armenian issue in this context too.
On April 24, he visited the statue of Komitas in Paris and attended
the ceremony of commemoration of the victims of the Armenian genocide.
"France recognized those events as a genocide and the whole world
knows that it was a genocide since the Armenians were slaughtered
only because they were Armenians," said Sarkozy. He assured that he
will present a new draft law on the genocide in June.
It is clear that by dwelling on the genocide of Armenians Sarkozy
tried to communicate that he will not allow Turkey to the European
Union to receive the votes of the supporters of "clean" Europe.
The same mindset reigns in other European countries where the
right-nationalist ideas are more and more popular. In this context,
the Armenian issue may be one of the arguments in the political destiny
of Europe, which, in case of Sarkozy's victory, might expect a surge
of nationalism. The Muslim world is already preparing for such an
outburst. Armenia does not need to be caught off guard.
