On January 28, at the annual dinner of the Coordination Council of Armenian Organizations of France (CCAF), French President Francois Hollande has revived the idea of a law punishing the denial of the Armenian genocide.
In his speech, the president said that he had confided to M. Jean-Paul Costa, former President of the European Court of Human Rights, the mission “to look into our law any solid, indisputable way, would allow to protect the memory “of the Armenian Genocide. And this” in a very short time. ”
In 2012, the Constitutional Council had censored a text asking penalizing denial of the Armenian genocide.
