Armenian resolution against French constitution, says Sueur of French Senate

PARIS (A.A) - January 18, 2012 - The Chairperson of the Committee on Laws at the French Senate, Jean Pierre Sueur, said Wednesday that their decision not to place an Armenian resolution earlier adopted by the French Parliament on the agenda of the French Senate was taken with the thought that the resolution was against the French constitution. Speaking to the Turkish media, Sueur said that the Armenian resolution was also against the freedom of expression and freedom of research. With these thoughts, we wanted the Armenian resolution not to be placed on the agenda of the French Senate. We believe that the Armenian resolution is against the French constitution, Sueur also said. An Armenian resolution adopted by the French Parliament in December criminalizes the rejection of Armenian allegations pertaining to the incidents of 1915 with a fine of one year in prison and 45,000 euros.
