PARIS. – French President Nikolas Sarkozy has not met Armenian Community in France yet, Hilda Tchoboian, MP of Rhone-Alpes region told Armenian News-NEWS.am. She added that she will not participate in the meeting as she represents an opposition.

According to her, discussions are underway on this subject but nothing has been announced officially yet.

Commenting on the French Constitutional Council’s decision banning the law on criminalizing genocide denials, including the Armenian Genocide, she said that the bill will be submitted again.

“That is not a question that can be solved in one day. It is quite possible that after the presidential elections in May the issue will appear on the agenda again but not at once, maybe after 6 months or a year.”

To note, the French Constitutional Court announced the law criminalizing denial of genocides including the Armenian Genocide to be unconstitutional on Tuesday.

To remind, the bill on criminalizing denial of genocides was accepted by the French parliament on December 22, 2011 than was turned to law on January 23, 2012 by the French Senate.
