YEREVAN.- France’s moves on Armenian Genocide bill are conditioned by country’s interests, said political analyst Arayik Sargsyan.

In this context, Sargsayn who is deputy head of Russia’s Geopolitics Problems Academy, stressed that French-Turkish relations are not disrupted. On the contrary, the countries intend to jointly adopt sanctions against Syria.

According to the political analyst, the matter concerns possible France’s intervention into Syria through the territory of Turkey.  The fate of Armenian bill depends on development of relations between Paris and Ankara, he said.  

“I am a descendant of Armenian Genocide survivor. My grand-father lost his parents during the 1915 events. But let us leave the dead alone and face the situation – France is making moves meeting its own interests,” he added.

In January the French Senate adopted a bill criminalizing denial of the genocides, including the Armenian Genocide. However, a group of senators appealed the decision in the Constitutional Council.
