French court fines Turkish women for rejecting Armenian Genocide

06.01.2010 19:14

court.JPGThe Court of French Lyons has fined Turkish Sirma Oran for rejecting the Armenian Genocide.

She was found guilty under the articles of the Criminal Code of France envisioning punishment for rejecting genocide and was fined with 1500 euros.

Oran said she intends to appeal against the decision of the Lyons court to the Supreme Court and if the latter does not take the just decision, she threatened to get to the European court.

Sirma Oran has become the first Turkish woman that was punished in France for rejecting the fact of Armenian Genocide. Sirma Oran Martz, daughter of publicist Baskin Oran, was obliged to withdraw her candidacy for deputy to Lyons municipality as she refused to recognize the Armenian Genocide. "Armenian genocide," News.az reports.

=============================

The Armenian Genocide is a very sensitive subject and had the power to hold up the Turkey-Armenia Accord... which is progressing, but is still held back a bit by Turkey not fully acknowledging Armenian Genocide. It is certainly interesting to see other nations recognizing that in such judicial settings.
