PanARMENIAN.Net - Slovak politician, member of the National Council

of the Slovak Republic František Mikloško urged main actors of

the European Union to change the principles and tools of shaping

future Europe.

 

"EU doesn't conceive yet that the Armenian Genocide denial led to such

disasters as Nazism, Holocaust and later communist repressions," Mr.

 

Mikloško told a press conference, noting Slovakia as the first

European country to adopt the bill criminalizing the Armenian Genocide

denial.

 

"The French Constitutional Council is likely to pass its decision

on February 28. However, in light of recent developments there are

no real chances for passage of the bill," Slovak politician said,

adding that each human life is more valuable that freedom of speech.

 

On January 23, the French Senate passed the bill criminalizing the

Armenian Genocide. If signed into law, the bill will impose a 45,000

euro fine and a year in prison for anyone in France who denies this

crime against humanity committed by the Ottoman Empire.

YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 14, ARMENPRESS: Members of the National Council of

Slovak Republic, businessmen and intellectuals visited Nagorno Karabakh

during these days. At a news conference February 14, First President

of the National Council of Slovak Republic František Mikloško said

during the recent years Nagorno Karabakh has registered noticeable

progress in the area of democracy.

 

"Two years ago I was in Nagorno Karabakh as an observer at the

elections, after it I stated that the elections were absolutely free

and fair," Mikloško said.

 

According to him, the state has been recognized for already 20 years

but visiting it once you understand that it will never agree to be

non-independent. "Nagorno Karabakh behaves itself just like other

independent states. International organizations should assist Karabakh

as it is exclusive democratic country," Mikloško stressed.

 

He also praised Karabakh's commitment to its Christian roots and

its readiness to fight for them till the end. "It is strange that

the Christian Europe has forgotten its roots. Laws of new Europe are

being written in Nagorno Karabakh," Mikloško said.
