/PanARMENIAN.Net/ On Friday the United National Front
Party of Azerbaijan tried to hold a picket at the
French Embassy in Baku. A group of 15 party activists
were pushed from the building. Two party members were
detained. Despite the pressure the activists read a
resolution calling on the `Azeri population to boycott
French products, on Milli Mejlis recognize the
genocide of 30 thousand Algerians committed by France
in 1954-1961 and refuse from the French mediation
within the OSCE MG.’ The resolution also calls on the
Azeri government to break all the economic ties with
France, reports Day.az
Baku’s discontent was aroused by the bill adopted by
the French parliament yesterday. The bill provides for
a 45 000 euros fine and a year in prison for the
denial of the Armenian Genocide.

“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
