'France, isn`t it a lot of scandals for one year?!'

As is known, in the Turkic world, in all civilized and democratic community a protest wave was caused by the decision of a group of the French members of parliament to approve the bill providing punishment for negation of the so-called “Armenian genocide”.

Correspondent of AzerTAc in Kiev asked Oleg Krapivin, president of the international public organization "Institute of Azerbaijanism", the founder of the Ukrainian-Azerbaijani educational, scientific-cultural, sports center after Heydar Aliyev, the known sportsman, the trainer and patron of art, to express his opinion in this regard.

“As a person born in Azerbaijan, living in Baku the most part of my life, perfectly knowing the true history of Turkic world, I am well aware of the pain and sufferings of my people as a result of occupational and aggressive policy of the Republic of Armenia towards Azerbaijan. I was deeply surprised by the decision of the lower chamber of National Assembly of France," he said.

"However, if to analyze some political tendencies which are taking place in this country as repressions rendered recently by the French power, law enforcement bodies upon the people for carrying of Muslim clothes, the mentioned decision of the members of parliament looks one more link in the chain of the measures directed on ousting from France of the immigrants, first of all, from the countries of the Turkic world.

We have not forgotten the events when in streets of Paris, other cities of the country there took place meetings against xenophobia, tens of were burnt, store windows of boutiques and supermarkets were trashed.

We remember and the sexual scandal connected with one of the real candidates to presidency of France, the former head of the International Monetary Fun Dominic Gaston Andre Strauss-Khan, which caused an indignation storm in world public opinion.

The decision accepted by the French members of parliament on insistence of the Armenian lobby is antidemocratic and, at least, incorrect... France, isn’t it a lot of scandals for one year?”
