Famous Israeli genocide scholar appealed to Israeli authorities calling to recognize the Armenian Genocide.

In his article posted in Jerusalem Post newspaper Israel Charny, director of the Institute on the Holocaust and Genocide, said Israel “must put an end to this charade and fully recognize the Armenian genocide.”

The French Senate adopted bill criminalizing the Armenian Genocide denial after long debates on Monday.

Last December the French Parliament adopted the bill penalizing denial of genocides, including the Armenian Genocide. The law introduced by MP Valerie Boyer, in case of violation, intends one year of imprisonment and a fine amounting to €45,000.
