Excerpt:
A bill making it a crime to deny the so-called Armenian genocide has yet to be approved by the French Senate; however, French schools have started to punish students who deny the alleged genocide.
Mustafa Doğan, a 13-year-old Turk, was suspended from a school in Nancy after insisting that there was no Armenian genocide.
Most Armenians term as genocide a series of tragic events during a war between Russia and the Ottoman Empire that played out in East Anatolia. France has been determined to push Turkey to acknowledge that the Armenian allegations are true. Turkey, in turn, has proposed that a committee of historians, not politicians, should decide what transpired in 1915.
