French Parliament postponed yesterday discussions on a draft law
which proposes “any denial of Armenian genocide claims a crime”.

French National Assembly President Jean-Louis Debre closed the session
on Thursday without voting on the draft law. The issue will be taken
up later.

French parliament sources said that a possible voting on the draft
law would not be held until new legislation term began in October.
