French Constitutional Council Asked To Examine Armenia Genocide Bill

Oh, that's right, what was I thinking. Might beats right, history repeats itself, Turkey continues the last stage of genocide...the denial and cover-up as well as the political pay-offs.

Missak-jan, dont you trust French Femida? We can bribe French senators, we can pour free brandy to the Congress representatives in California and New York, we can buy corrupt Russian Duma members and their dollar-hungry colleagues in Uruguay. But we cannot bribe the French Femida. I totally trust it. Whatever it says, will be the ultimate truth. If it says the law is unconstitutional, then just accept the truth.

France must demonstrate its consistency and honesty and recognize by law the Turkish, Kurdish and Azeri genocides perpetrated by armed Armenian bands in the occupied parts of Anatolia and in Caucasus in 1914-18. Armenians were not "angels" at all, they also committed genocide. And actually they started first to kill innocent Muslim civilians in the vilayyets occupied by Russian troops. When Turkish counter-offensice began, Turks took the revenge. Genocide in Anatolia is purely an Armenian invention. It is so simple: do not kill and you will not be killed. But once you get your lesson, learn it instead of crying for the whole century in different parts of the world.
Also, the following genocides must be recognized by law in France: Circassian, Herero, Namaqua, Tutsi, Roma, Bosnian, Comobodian genocides. Then the criminalization of the denial of the recognized by law genocides will apply also to them.
What makes Armeniann genocide so special that France recognizes it by law and ignores other cases of genocide? Only because there are a couple of more Armenian voters in France than Circassians?
The Herero and Namaqua Genocides were the first genocides of the 20th century, and they must be also recognized by law!
Armenians are by no means anyhow special in this world.
I admire honest French MPs and senators who challenged this law in the Constitutional Court! A big MERCI to them!!!

Politicians need stay away from describing historical event . They are the ones who make history happens. If you really want the issue to be solved make two side to seat at the table and talk about it. Both sides needs to bring their historians and archives to prove their side of story. Please politicians stay away from it. you are not helping at all.

Excuse me, Missak, but are you accusing the Constitutional Court of France of being paid by Turkey? I am sorry, but this is a rather a serious allegation. And unless you have any proof, I will urge you to refrain from making such statements. Constitutional Court is the last body in the world whom you can call corrupt, and Turks are the last people in the world from whom Frenchmen would take bribes. So, please be courageous and accept the final ruling of the Court!

Meanwhile, there are documents that prove that ex-speaker of US Congress Nancy Pelosi, who blocked the nomination of the US Ambassador in Azerbaijan Mathew Bryza, used to receive suspicious "donations" from an Armenian who was later arrested for the Medicaid fraud. Your compatriots in US were stealing money from American ill, needy and elderly people to "donate" the stolen public money to the congresspeople like Nancy Pelosi, Frank Pallone, Adam Shiff etc.
Besides, please look critically at your own history and STOP the Armenian state-sponsored practice of the denial of the genocides committed by armed Armenian paramilitary units against Turks in Van, Erzerum, Trabzon, Kars in 1914-1918 and against Azeris in Baku and Eastern Caucasus in 1918 and in Hojali in 1992.
The ruling of the French Constitutional Law will show to the whole world where the truth is! It will down Mr. Sarkozy into the barrel of eternal disgrace!

If this draft law is right, then US should criminalize denial of the genocide of Indians in America. Overall, this parade of genocides is the worst political invention of the recent decades. It has been promoted by terrorism. The French National Assembly adopted the draft law on criminalization of "denial" on December 22, 2011 - exactly on the day, when in 1979 an Armenian terrorist killed a Turkish diplomat in protest against the "genocide". In that respect, the draft law is also promoting terrorism as an acceptable political tool.

This bill is a disgraceful attack on freedom of expression above all. The differences between Armenians and Turks should be settled through historical debates. And if Armenians believe that they were subjected to genocide, they should file a lawsuit against Turkey with the International Court of Justice in Hague. Otherwise, bribing legislatures of countries around the world is not really a decent way of bringing the truth to the surface. It is an attempt to push your opinion and silence the opposite view. The pain and losses incurred by both nations during World War I are being desecrated by such dirty indecent money-making politics.

Well done! Nothing to add.

If the Constitutional Court agrees that this law is against the French constitution, then let it be clear now rather than later, because ultimately this law would have been challenged by Turks. If however, the French high court rules for the constitutionality of this law then it will be a tremendous blow to all those who vociferously attacked Sarkozy and the Armenians.

One thing should be clear to everyone, the passage of this law or its cancellation has no bearing on the factuality of the case itself. Turkiye cannot claim victory for having won the debate over the genocide case, it will only be able to claim victory for freedom of expression.

This, in my opinion an equally explosive issue and ostensibly a victory as well for Armenians, because now Turkey will be under tremendous pressure to abolish article 301 from its Penal Code and let Armenian genocide subject openly be discussed in Turkey without the threat of anyone fearing "insulting Turkishness" and being prosecuted for it.

One should not compare French bill with Turkey`s §301. French bill will generate conditions in France, when the books will be burned if they have facts which prove that armenian "genocide" is a myth. Back to obscurantism.
What will be next move Sarcosys France to please armenians? Burn people who says that armenian genocide as an allegation?

At the same I see always that armenians in Turkey claim freely in newspapers that it was "genocide" without being arrested. Yes, Sarkosys France is on the way to obscurantism, I guess it just follows example of its little syster "Armenia" - so called Sarcosy Armenia to please armenian voters.
