Armenian community does not tie big expectations from meeting with Sarkozy

YEREVAN, MARCH 7, ARMENPRESS. President of France Nicolas Sarkozy will present the reasons of not presenting the new bill penalizing genocides by the end of his presidency at the March 7 meeting with the representatives of the Armenian community. Speaking to Armenpress, director of the ARF Armenian Cause office of France Hrach Varzhapetyan said the delegation representing Armenian community will include all the political flows which want to understand why the new bill will be presented after presidential elections.

"At the meeting the President will present the reasons as well as his viewpoint over the discussion of the bill during the past two months. The expectations are not great at all," Varzhapetyan said. He noted that the Armenian community is dissatisfied that Sarkozy did not keep his promise given in Armenia as they hoped to see new bill by the end of his presidency.
