The French media turned today to the topic of the Armenian Genocide. A
number of articles were published particularly in the popular “Figaro”
daily. The newspaper turned to the legislative initiative to execute
sanctions against Genocide deniers.
It was noted that the French Parliament is going to discuss the
legislative initiative of Socialist MP Didie Migo on May 18. This
project will be the continuation of the Law on the Armenian Genocide
adopted by the French Parliament in 2001.
“Figaro” notes that according to the project, the punishment for
Genocide deniers will range from five years of imprisonment to a
charge of 45 thousand Euros.
The newspaper referred also to the memorials to the victims of the
Armenian Genocide raised in Lyon and Marseilles.
