BELGIAN SENATE REJECTS `GENOCIDE’ MEASURE

The Belgian Senate’s Justice Commission yesterday turned back a
proposal to criminalize denying claims of an Armenian genocide. The
bill was returned to the Federal Assembly. Belgian senators said that
it wasn’t Belgium’s job to judge historical contorversies and
stressed that the positive steps taken by Ankara concerning the issue
couldn’t be ignored. /Milliyet/
