Argentina's Parliament to Discuss a Bill Criminalizing Armenian Genocide Denial
In an interview with Prensa Armenia, Argentine Deputy of the Front for Victory party Nilda Garre announced of submitting a bill to criminalize denialism in Argentina this week, a project that would include the Armenian Genocide denial.
The project, which is based on the legislation of a number of European countries, plans to include in the Criminal Code the criminalization to anyone who "publicly denied, minimized, justified and/or approved any form of genocide or crimes against humanity''.
The proposal claims to be compatible with freedom of expression "when justified in protecting the rights of victims, in maintaining public order or national security, or to prohibit the apology of hatred and violence."
When asked about the recent visit of Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu to Argentina, she said that "I am not clear how Turkey could react. What I do know is that the Argentine Republic is a sovereign nation and the National Congress is the representation of one of its powers."
