Armenian Genocide denial must be criminalized on international level: F. Rochebloine

YEREVAN, APRIL 23, ARMENPRESS. The French MP Francois Rochebloine is confident that the best way of preventing the genocides is not merely condemning them, but defining the denial as a crime. “I see something irritating in the Armenian Genocide denial, which represents a threat to the public freedom, as it violates the justice and human dignity,” Francois Rochebloine noted.

As reports “Armenpress”, among other things, the French MP underscored: “It’s necessary to define a criminal punishment for such an activity to prevent the repetition of such genocidal actions. I am sorry that the Constitutional Council hindered the adoption of such a law in France. We’ll continue our activities to eliminate those obstacles.”
