The bill on responsibility for denying genocide in EU countries does not directly aim at denying the Armenian Genocide. Three years ago the bill was blocked and now on Germany's initiative, which currently holds EU presidency, again it is included in the agenda, Chairman of the Armenian Federation of Europe (AEFJD) Hilda Tchoboyan stated to a press conference in Yerevan. She said, in this case the problem is not with Germany, which is for the adoption of the law, but the general mood in the European Union. "Hearings will launch in the European Parliament May 19, and if the bill is approved, it will mean that it is compulsory for all EU member-states, after bringing the new law to conformity with legislation of every country," she stressed.

Alongside, the AEFJD Chairman noted that "Hay Dat" Committees must carry out a work aimed at recognizing the Armenian Genocide by parliaments of different countries. "If it happens, as a result the Armenian Genocide will be recognized by the international community," Tchoboyan told.
