The law envisaging criminal punishment for denying the Armenian
Genocide will be presented to Senate confirmation after the nationwide
elections in the country. Chairwoman of the European Armenian
Federation Hilda Tchoboyan told Armenpress that the law should be
presented by the Socialists, the authors of the bill, who are
currently engaged in the presidential elections expected in the
country. She noted also that much depends on these elections. `The
European Armenian Federation wants the law to be included in the
Senate agenda, therefore, the works in this direction are under way,’
Hilda Tchoboyan underlined.
Let us remind that on October 13, 2006 adopted a bill envisaging
criminal punishment for denying the Armenian Genocide, which should be
approved by the Senate within a year.
