- Abstract
This article discusses the French Parliament bill on the Armenian Genocide of 1915-1917. An account of the French Parliament passed a bill condemning the Armenian Genocide of 1915-1917, and the bill makes criminal denial of the Genocide. The article examines the civil libertarian implications of such a law, noting that many in Turkey have called for France to limit freedom of expression in this case. To understand the reaction of the Armenian public and leadership to the recent adoption by the lower house of the French Parliament of a bill declaring the public denial of the Armenian genocide a crime, one has to firstly understand the emotional intensity with which Armenians treat the issue of the recognition of the 1915-17 genocide in the Ottoman Empire.
