/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Segolène Royal’s ascent can deal a painful blow
to France’s interests in the South Caucasus. The matter is that Ms
Royal was one of the initiators and authors of the bill penalizing
the Armenian Genocide denial adopted by the French National Assembly
October 12, 2006, reports Echo Baku-based newspaper.

The author of the article reminds that ‘France has already paid a high
price for this decision’. After accusing France of restricting the
liberty of conscience Turkey proceeded to consistent curtailment of
cooperation with France in many sectors, including the military one. In
2001 with the adoption of the law recognizing the Armenian Genocide
France deprived itself of contracts on delivery of tanks, rockets and
other military equipment. The history repeats," the article says. Baku
also thinks that since 2001 the French right-wing and left-wing forces
have demonstrated unity as regards the Armenian-Turkish issues.
