A group of French senators begin collecting signatures to carry Armenian bill to constitutional court

PARIS (A.A) - A group of French senators began collecting signatures to carry an Armenian bill adopted at the French Senate on Monday to the French constitutional court. Senator Nathalie Goulet told the AA that they began a signature campaign on Tuesday to take the Armenian bill to the French constitutional court. The signatures of at least 60 senators or parliamentarians are needed to take the Armenian bill to the French constitutional court within a period of a month. The Armenian bill adopted at the French Senate on Monday criminalizes any denial of the Armenian allegations pertaining to the incidents of 1915. The Armenian bill must be signed by the French President Nicolas Sarkozy within 15 days and published in the Official Gazette in order to become a law.
