Valerie Boyer, author of the Armenian genocide bill, which criminalizes those who deny Armenian Genocide in France, had an interview with Armenian Public TV.
“Former president of France, Nicolas Sarkozy, created the necessary conditions for the adoption of the bill, but he had to wait until the signing of the document and see if it is accepted in the Constitutional Council. Those who say that he could sign it before that are wrong.
The law only refers to France and its citizens, we didn’t mean to hurt Turkey, but we see the fact that they are very aggressive towards the Armenian Genocide issue, and do everything to deny it.
As we know the new president of France, François Hollande, before coming to the power, in the pre-election period promised to recognize the bill, but as we see he doesn’t follow his promises, so I promise that I will once again put Armenian Genocide bill on France’s parliament agenda!
We must carry out the work till the end; we must make the entire world recognize that fact.
Concerning Safaraov’s extradition, I’m also concerned. Hungary mustn’t have done such a step.
I have even read a statement that Azerbaijan gave Hungry $ 3 Billion for the extradition. I don’t want to believe that everything can be bought either by money or by oil. This is the right time to recognize NKR independence, to recognize Armenian Genocide; the whole world must recognize the facts.” Said Valerie Boer
