Armenian Genocide recognition 'train' is set in motion – expert (Video).

No one has doubts that French President Nicolas Sarkozy will enact the Senate approved bill criminalizing the Genocide denial, an Armenian political analyst has said.

Speaking at a Moscow-Yerevan TV bridge earlier today, Alexander Iskandaryan, the director of the Caucasus Institute, said the bill is of great significance not only for Armenia, but also many ethnic Armenians around the world.

“The Armenian Genocide recognition 'train' has been set in motion, and it is no longer possible to halt it. These events are very important for this region, as well as Europe,” he noted. “The issue has both a moral and political significance. I don’t think what happened changed Turkey’s attitude to France.”

Speaking further, Director of Russia’s Political and Social Studies Institute Vadim Zakharov stressed the importance of giving a worthy attention to all those who contributed to the adoption of the bill.

He said France should set an example for other countries.

“It is time for other countries’ parliaments to recognize the Armenian Genocide,” he stressed.
