CONTRIBUTION TO EUROPEAN INTEGRATION OF POST-SOVIET STATES

Yerevan, October 20. ArmInfo. Adoption of a bill on criminal liability
to deny the Armenian Genocide by the Parliament of a country to
first declare the human rights in the world history, is a serious
contribution to the European integration of post-Soviet states,
RA Parliament deputy, President of the Association of Political
Experts of Armenia, Hamayak Oganessyan, said in an interview to the
Moscow correspondent of an influential "Le Monde" French newspaper,
Madlen Vatel.

In Oganessyan’s opinion, the French Parliamentarians have demonstrated
that adherence to the historical justice, protection of individual
and collective human rights, realization of the fact the human life
is given by God is more important than any mercantile interests. "In
the modern world , where there are many states, ready to measure the
allied relations between the nations by oil barrels or cubic meters of
gas, the French Parliament has given an adequate lesson to everybody",
the deputy outlined

Asked about the attitude of Russian political figures to the adopted
bill, H. Oganessyan answered that the Parliament’s decision contributes
to the strengthening of positions of the followers of the European
integration in Russia. It has demonstrated how mush objectively
the French lawmakers assess the historical heritage of post-Soviet
countries, with how much respect they treat the historical memory of
nations, living there.
