Belgium Senate’s Justice Commission has postponed sessions regarding a
bill envisioning penalties for those, who deny the so-called Armenian
genocide allegations, to today due to its busy agenda.

If the bill is approved at the Justice Commission, is aimed to be
presented for the approval of the executive board prior to July. The
bill asks for penalties to be imposed on those who deny the so-called
genocide allegations, either with imprisonment between eight days to
a one year or with a fine of between 26 to 5,000 euros.
