BAKU: French Ambassador: "I Do Not Think French Parliament To Adopt

FRENCH AMBASSADOR: "I DO NOT THINK FRENCH PARLIAMENT TO ADOPT THE BILL ON ARMENIAN GENOCIDE"

Today, Azerbaijan
Oct 11 2006

France extraordinary and plenipotentiary ambassador to Azerbaijan
Bernard Amaudric du Chaffaut held a press conference on discussion
of false Armenian genocide in France parliament.

He said he does not believe that the parliament will accept the bill.

"This bill was suggested by Socialist Party. If the National Assembly
adopts the bill it will be presented to the Senate. The Senate
may adopt ore refuse it. The president cannot override veto to the
decision of the Senate. If National Assembly does not adopt the bill
the problem will end. Turkey and France Foreign Ministers talked over
the phone today. They discussed bilateral relations," he said.

The Ambassador also said that there exists a law for punishing
those who deny Armenian genocide in France, but it was not applied
to anybody.

He also touched upon France Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy’s
statement on the problem, APA reports.

"Sarkozy said this not as the government representative, but as
party leader. I do not want to comment on his statement. As concerns
Minsk Group French co-chair’s activity, I would like to say that the
co-chair represents neither the parliament nor the opposition. He
tries to solve Nagorno Garabagh conflict," the Ambassador said.
