/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Hurriyet Turkish newspaper in an article titled
"Chorus of voices rises to condemn French genocide denial bill"
reports of some "sources from Armenia" which say that the Armenian
Genocide bill has already lost the support of leading Armenians,
from President Robert Kocharian to top ranked Armenian Orthodox
Church members. The article says, in part, that President Kocharian
allegedly told French President Jacques Chirac, during his visit
to Yerevan last week, that "this law, if enacted, will ruin the
small steps we have taken towards peace with Turkey, it will ruin
our relations." Kocharian then allegedly asked Chirac to remove the
debate on the bill from the French Parliament’s agenda.
As PanARMENIAN.Net came to know from reliable sources, the information
spread by the Turkish media on the threshold of the voting on the
French bill penalizing the Armenian Genocide denial is absolutely
false. This is mere misinformation that suits the Turkish policy.
