As Patrick Devedjian stated during the debate on a bill panalyzing Genocide denial at French parliament, “by denying the Genocide, Turkey denies its past. The truth behind the Armenian Genocide must not be questioned, but rather, supported by a political step.” “I'm sure both left- and right-wing parliamentarians are determined to vote for the victory of justice,” the policitican said. As Devedjian reminded, in 1919 Turkey had already recongized the Armenian Genocide.
