PARIS. – At the Holocaust Memorial in Paris historians of the Armenian Genocide will present their point of view about why its denial should be criminalized during the discussions on April 4, the website of the Holocaust Memorial informs.

To remind, on January 29, 2001, France officially recognized the Armenian Genocide of 1915. In January 2012, the French parliament adopted a bill on criminalizing the denial of Genocides recognized by France. The law was a matter of discussion between some historians and lawyers but the law was recognized as unconstitutional by the French Constitutional Council.
