The aim of the comedy that we witnessed was to prolong the discussions not to put the draft criminalizing the denial of the Armenian Genocide for discussion, Patrick Devedjian, an MP representing the Union for Popular Movement and Adviser of Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, told Le Figaro. "I did not think they would dare to go that far. The aim of the comedy that we witnessed was to prolong the discussions not to put the draft for discussion. This game was organized by the socialists' spearhead and part of the rightists acting apparently on demand. This is a disaster for the parliament where seems to be a ban on discussing concerns facing the French," Devedjian remarked, the Azg newspaper writes.
