EUROPE FIRMS IN OPINION THAT TURKEY SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

"The adoption of this legislation by the French Parliament reflects both the growing isolation of Turkey as well as the strengthened resolve in France - and throughout Europe - that Turkey must end its denials and accept a just settlement of the Armenian Genocide," Aram Hamparian, the Executive Director of the Armenian National Committee of America told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. To remind, October 12 the lower house of the French parliament with 106 votes ‘for’ and 19 ‘against’ passed a bill penalizing the Armenian Genocide denial. An analogous law was adopted in Switzerland in 2003.
