“May 18 discussion of the bill on penalizing Armenian Genocide deniers
may be cancelled or postponed,” said Hilda Tchoboyan, Head of the
European Armenian Federation, in her phone talk with “Radiolur”
correspondent.
The reason is the active Turkish lobbying. This, however, will not
put an end to the question, and in several months the issue will be
again presented to consideration.
In Hilda Tchoboyan’s words, the Armenian side is doing everything to
counter the active Turkish lobby and to make the issue a matter of
discussion. Today all Armenian organizations of France are working in
accord. These have been joined by the French organization for defense
of human rights. This is, however, not an issue of the Armenian
community in France only.
