22 December 2011 [14:40] - TODAY.AZ
The International Centre for Diaspora and Azerbaijani society of war veterans have today held a rally in front of the French embassy in Baku as a sign of protest against the discussion of the bill criminalizing the denial of the so-called "Armenian genocide" in the French Senate.
The participants chanted "France! Be fair," "Down with Sarkozy," "Long live Turkey".

About 100 people participated in the protest action. They adopted a resolution condemning the actions of the French Senate, and presented it to the representative of the embassy. Members of the French president's party, the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) which have the parliamentary majority, presented a bill to the legislative committee of the National Assembly earlier this month.
