Azerbaijan accepts appeal to French Senate

The Azerbaijani parliament accepted an appeal to the French Senate on the so-called "Armenian genocide" today. The appeal, in particular, calls on the French Senate not to adopt this bill.

The French Parliament adopted a bill criminalizing the denial of a fictitious "Armenian genocide" last week. Some 45 out of 577 French MPs participated in the voting, while 38 voted for and seven voted against the adoption of the bill.

The bill envisages about a year imprisonment and a fine worth 45,000 euros for denial of the so-called "Armenian genocide".
