/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The French lower house of parliament, the National
Assembly, approved a bill on Thursday making it a crime to deny that
the Ottoman Turks committed Genocide against Armenians during World
War One. A total of 106 deputies voted in favor of the bill while
19 voted against, France Info radio reports. The amendment of former
minister Patrick Devedjian, authorizing the debate of the historians
on the history of the Genocide, was rejected by the deputies. The
bill has still to be ratified by the upper house, the Senate, and
the President Jacques Chirac before it becomes law.

The bill provides for one year of imprisonment and a fine of 45
thousand Euros for denying the Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey
during World War I.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
