Armenia ruling party 'wins poll' (bbc)

 

Armenia's ruling Republican Party is on course to retain power after parliamentary elections.

The Republican Party, led by President Serge Sarkisian, has polled 46% with more than 50% of votes counted.

The main opposition force, the Prosperous Armenia party, is trailing on around 31%.

The Armenian National Congress, led by former President Levon Ter-Petrosyan, is on course to cross the 7% threshold needed to win seats in parliament.

Sunday's vote passed off peacefully, but opposition groups have complained of irregularities. Previous polls have been marred by allegations of fraud.

France Votes on Punishment in Armenian Genocide Law

France Votes on Punishment in New Genocide Law - ABC News

     


Lawmakers vote on Thursday on a measure that would make it a crime in France to deny that a mass killings of Armenians in 1915 amounted to a genocide, a measure that could put France on a collision course with Turkey, a strategic ally and trading partner which says the conflict nearly 100 years ago should be left to historians.

France formally recognized the killings as genocide in 2001, but provided no penalty for anyone denying that. The bill sets a punishment of up to one year in prison and a fine of euro45,000 ($59,000) for those who deny or "outrageously minimize" the killings by Ottoman Turks, putting such action on a par with denial of the Holocaust.
