ФРАНЦИЯ-ПРЕЗИДЕНТ-ГЕНОЦИД-МНЕНИЕ

Если отрицание будет продолжаться, то Франция пойдет на другие шаги и внесет законодательные изменения по криминализации отрицания Геноцида армян. Об этом сегодня на совместной с президентом Армении Сержем Саргсяном пресс-конференции заявил глава французского государства Николя Саркози, находящийся в Ереване с государственным визитом.

Франция в 2001 году на парламентском уровне признала Геноцид армян в Османской империи, однако законопроект о привлечении к уголовной ответственности за отрицание Геноцида пока не принят Сенатом, продолжил он, добавив, что  Париж ожидает разумного подхода со стороны турецкого общества и правительства в вопросе скорейшего признания Геноцида армян.

"Настало время для реализации желания армян всего мира о признании Геноцида.  Надеюсь, это случится в период моего президентства", - сказал Саркози, отметив при этом, что  если бы Турция признала черные страницы своей истории - Геноцид начала века, то Франция и Армения посчитали бы это сильным жестом в направлении мира и большим шагом к примирению.
Как считает глава французского государства, не может быть прочного примирения без признания страданий людей, отрицания исторических фактов.


"Если такая большая страна как Турция, которая часто демонстрировала свою смелость, нашла бы силы пойти на такой шаг, то для Франции было бы достаточно законодательно признать геноцид", - сказал Саркози.


"Франция не может предъявить ультиматум Турции, мы, таким образом, не можем помочь примирению двух народов. Но с 1915 года прошло достаточно времени для принятия решения, и ответом Франции на шаги руководства Турции будут скорейшие шаги", - сказал Саркози.


Отметим, что геноцид армян 1915 года признан многими государствами мира - Уругваем, Россией, Францией, Литвой, Грецией, Кипром, Аргентиной, Бельгией, Уэльсом и др. Сама же Турция, на территории которой было уничтожено 1,5 млн армян, отвергает данный факт.

Aden under curfew, as problem in Yemen's south deepens

Aden under curfew, as problem in Yemen's south deepens

The port city of Aden, in Yemen's south, has been put under curfew, as the rift in the country between  the Saudi led coalition which  backs Yemen's presidential governing council, and the southern forces led by the Southern Transitional Council (STC), deepens. Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami, a member of the Yemeni Presidential Governing Council and commander of the al-Amalik brigades, has ordered a curfew in the temporary capital, Aden, "to maintain security". "A curfew has been imposed throughout Aden Governorate from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., in accordance with the instructions of Commander Abdul Rahman al-Mahrami, a member of the Presidential Management Council," the statement said. It states that only security and military personnel, as well as medical and technical teams with approved permits, will be allowed to move in the area during these hours. Yemen's presidential council, which is backed by Saudi Arabia and which already is in a struggle with the Houthi Movement in the north of the country who also occupy the capital Sanaa, two days ago issued an order for the arrest of the head of the Southern Transitional Council (STC),, Aidarous al Zubaidi. The STC have wide support among people in the South, and advocate that South Yemen restores its independence. The coalition warned of further escalation in Aden, long regarded as an STC stronghold, as the Presidential Leadership Council (PLC) chief accused STC leader Aidarous Al Zubaidi of “high treason” and announced the revocation of his membership in the governing body. The moves mark a sharp escalation in tensions within the anti-Houthi camp, despite National Shield Forces, rivals of the STC and former allies, having recently retaken control of Hadhramaut and Mahra from southern fighters. The STC’s takeover of the two regions last month angered Saudi Arabia and contributed to igniting the current internal conflict. (click the picture to read more)
