Concern Over French Legislation On Genocide Of Armenians

CONCERN OVER FRENCH LEGISLATION ON GENOCIDE OF ARMENIANS

SR International – Radio Sweden, Sweden
Oct 17 2006

Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt has expressed concern after the
passage of legislation in the French Chamber of Deputies making it
a crime to deny the 1915 massacre of Armenians in Turkey.

Turkey, which is a candidate to join the European Union, has reacted
strongly to the legislation. In Turkey the event is played down as
mutual attacks between Turks and Armenians because of World War I.

EU foreign ministers are discussing relations with Turkey in a meeting
in Luxembourg Tuesday. Carl Bildt says the French legislation can
cause problems in negotiations over issues such as opening Turkish
airports and harbors to traffic from Cyrpus.

He says, however, that the French bill may never become law, since
it still has to be approved by the Senate and signed by President
Jacques Chirac.

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
