Belgian Senate Rejects Draft On Armenian Genocide

BRUSSELS (AA) – Belgian Senate Justice Commission rejected on Tuesday
a draft resolution aiming to punish those who deny allegations on
so-called Armenian genocide.

The draft was submitted to the parliament by the Valon Liberal Party
(MR) and the Valon Greens (ECOLO). It envisaged imprisonment terms
and fines to those who do not admit the so-called genocide.

After the rejection of the draft, the Belgian Senate will take
into consideration only the genocides recognized by international
organizations.
