/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The bill criminalizing denial of the Armenian
Genocide has been blocked in the French Senate, head of Movement for
France (MPF) Philippe de Villiers told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

He voiced hope that hearing on the bill will be held next year. "We
are trying to lobby the bill but the pressure is too strong," Mr. de
Villiers said.

The bill penalizing the Armenian Genocide denial was passed by the
lower house of the French National Assembly in October 2006.
