  Parliament must initiate laws to curb racism - French Senator  January 23, 2012 - 20:49 AMTPanARMENIAN.Net - French Parliament must initiate laws to curb manifestations of racism, French Sen. Jean-Vincent Place said. At Senate-hosted debate over Armenian Genocide penalization bill, Mr Place noted the Parliament as a suitable platform for discussion of suchlike initiatives. “Turkey, too, must host similar discussions, as the issue will never be finalized without the country’s recognition of the Armenian Genocide,” the Senator said, noting the recognition as a decisive step in Ankara’s EU bid. “However, seeing the wave of protests the bill brought about, would we need to create an even wide rift between Armenia and Turkey?” the Senator questioned.
