France rejects Armenian genocide denial bill

Shame to see France join the USA in buckling to Turkish pressure. Obama promised the same and then failed to deliver when he was elected.

As the great grandson of Armenian genocide survivors, it is sickening to see another attempt to sweep it under the carpet.

Turkey is a state so engulfed in self-loathing for what it did to the Armenians that challenging the official line of denial can land you in prison.

It seems that France has tolerated muslims, jihadists and islamism long enough. The tides are changing and France is leading the way.

I wonder what European country is next in banning the burkha?

Proof positive that France's judiciary is STILL controled by pro-Saudi elements, so there's more work for Sarkozy IF he's serious about France. An injustice is done to our Orthodox Armenian brothers.

1.5 mil armenian civilians liquidated by turkish troops AFTER wwi is not genocide but a few thousand muslim insurgents killed by serbian troops DURING a civil war is???

It would be a pleasant surprise if it was Serbia.

I recognise the mass Killing of Armenians in WW1 as genocide. However I think people should be allowed to deny it if they please. They should also be allowed to deny the Holocaust too. People should be free to argue whatever they please as that is Freedom of Speech!

If Obama for some reason started walking like George Jefferson,the little fella would emulate.
It's amazing how lack of originality,character,and lack of human dignity can transform a lackey.

European countries are left passing laws on what one can think and wear, while North America continues to build its influence and empire. Proof positive the old continent is dead for all practical purposes.
European politicians just make me sick. This kind of law would not even see the day of light on this side of the Atlantic. You want to pass a law to force people to think a certain way? How about letting people with their free will come up with that conclusion on their own???

Europe, and more specifically France, you are a JOKE!

North America, the continent where (except for 1 state) I am not allowed to use *MY* body for whatever purpose *I* want to use it while charging money for it?
