Rizvan Huseynov, political analyst, journalist:
“Apparently, part of the French establishment and, primarily,
President Sarkozy became part of a political game by anti-Turkish
powerful world political circles, close to Israel and its lobbyists in
the West. Thus, the current Israeli Government and the Jewish lobby
“take vengeance on” Turkey for its strong anti-Israel policies and tough
stance on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The choice of France as
“cudgels” against Turkey was not accidental, because the current French
President Nicolas Sarkozy is in fact a political bankruptcy dependent
influential lobbying interests outside of France. These forces are
interested in creating new pressures on Turkey, which becomes very
significant State not only in the region, but in the world.
These
politicians seeking to impede the growth of the influence of Turkey in
the Middle East, Europe and North Africa, have decided to force France
to plunge into confrontation with Turkey. In the West, and especially in
Europe, are seriously worried the trend neoosmanskogo current
cultivation by the Turkish authorities, both domestically and
internationally. With regard to the adoption by the Senate of France, a
Bill to criminalize the denial of the so-called “Armenian genocide”, it
seems, this law is approved by President Sarkozy. After all, if not
ecstatic, must understand that in this case France waiting for big
problems not only with Turkey but also with the European Union and with
the West in General, as a bastion of democratic values and freedoms.
Indeed, the act directly violates French law, and the 10-th article of
the European Convention on human rights, the creator and sponsor of
which was France itself.
The criticism has not yet approved the law already made by Secretary
of State Hillary Clinton, saying that “in the United States we don’t
punish people for their comments. People can talk about whatever they
want. ” In her view, the question of the recognition of the “Armenian
genocide” should address not policy, and historians, and the involvement
of the State to deal with such issues is a very dangerous practice. I
think the President of France, n. Sarkozy, obviously mad enough not to
sign the law on the criminalization, adopted by the Senate. He may try
to sink it by organizing collection of signatures of dissent to the
Bill, deputies of the Senate, which sent its request to the
Constitutional Court of France, would not allow the law to acquire legal
force “.
