Владимир Жириновский:

Руководитель фракции ЛДПР в Госдуме Владимир Жириновский прокомментировал события, разворачивающиеся вокруг законопроекта о введении ответственности за отрицание Геноцида армян.

В заявлении руководителя фракции ЛДПР, обнародованном на официальном сайте ЛДПР лидер ЛДПР заявил: «О необходимости признания геноцида армян ЛДПР говорит уже давно. И мы приветствуем решение французских парламентариев. Жертвами трагических событий 1915 года стали около полутора миллионов человек, и закрывать на это глаза — просто кощунственно”.

Он добавил, что признать совершенное преступление обязана и сама Турция. Армения же должна получить назад свои исконные земли. «События в апреле 1915 года – это самая мрачная страница в истории человечества. Такого жестокого истребления народа не было ни в одной европейской или азиатской стране. Почти век назад произошло прямое уничтожение людей по национальному признаку. Сегодня мир говорит о демократии, и все мировое сообщество должно признать геноцид армян», - уверен Председатель ЛДПР.

Источник напоминает, что на минувшей неделе нижняя палата парламента Франции приняла закон о наказании за отрицание Геноцида армян. В соответствии с законопроектом отрицание Геноцида предлагается наказывать годом тюрьмы и штрафом в размере 45 тысяч евро. Документ скоро поступит на рассмотрение французского Сената.

В ответ на это премьер-министр Турции Тайип Эрдоган отозвал посла из Парижа и обвинил французов в геноциде алжирцев. Также Турция намерена прекратить все военные и экономические проекты с Францией.
