YEREVAN. – There are no contradictions between French political powers on criminalizing denial of the Armenian Genocide, French Senators said in Yerevan on Saturday adding French newly elected President Francois Hollande also will be consistent in passing the bill.

“We are members of the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) supporting French former President Nikolas Sarkozy and learned with interest about Hollande’s intentions. We will be very glad if a consensus is established on the issue in France,” Senator Bernard Fournier said.

To note, French Constitutional Council banned the bill criminalizing denial of the Genocide early this year, while Sarkozy has promised to submit a new bill in case he is elected.
