 Heritage party welcomes Genocide bill adoption December 23, 2011 - 21:20 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Heritage opposition party welcomes adoption of the bill penalizing Armenian Genocide denial by the French National Assembly, stating that the step once again proved France’s adherence to democracy, human rights and values. This also implies logical continuation of EU policy against racism. “The decision is also the product of long-term and persistent struggle by worldwide Armenians, first of all Diaspora having survived the Genocide.
