  Valérie Boyer slams Azeri provocations in French parliament February 28, 2013 - 12:57 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - French MP Valérie Boyer has issued a statement on Azeri provocations during Feb 25 event commemorating Sumgait pogrom victims in French National Assembly. “Aliev regime encourages the incidents similar to that recorded during Feb 25 event commemorating the 25th anniversary of Sumgait pogrom, through promoting the propaganda of denial and increasing anti-Armenian provocations. The incident proves that Baku’s intentions have nothing to do with Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement,” Ms Boyer said, adding that oil can buy neither memory, nor human rights. Valérie Boyer addressed French President François Hollande with a call to take relevant diplomatic steps to end provocations of this type. I urge Claude Bartolone to include on National Assembly’s agenda the bill on combating racism and xenophobia through the criminal law. The bill criminalizing Armenian Genocide denial must be adopted,” Nouvelles d՝Arménie quoted Ms Boyer as saying.   Top stories Six total incidents have burned 19 old-growth trees.
