Just click on the link and PDF file will open. I did this quickly for my 12 grade research paper. Its about the new french bill passed last October about Genocide denial. I think its worth a read.

Tell me what you guys think.

ace, I read your essay, I ‘d like to point out a few things:

First of all, why are you constantly comparing The Armenian Genocide to the Holocaust? Enough has been talked about that issue if you really wanted to “compare” the AG to something, you could have done it with that of Darfur or Rwanda, which are more recent, unpunished and are not being discussed in general.

On the first page (6th line), it reads: “A number of European states […] have attempted to prohibit the most extreme and polarized cases of this misuse: the Holocaust denial.”
Your choice of words like "the most …is the holocaust", is not nice, someone could feel that you are minimizing what happened to Armenians compared to xxxs, thus the existent law is ok for the Holocaust and not for the AG which is not on the same scale. (Unconsciously, you are implying that notion to your reader). There are more examples as well.


The idea of writing an essay on the issue was good but I felt like I read an essay on the Holocaust and anti-Semitism rather than the Armenian Genocide and the new bill. You should have focused more on the latter.

Holocaust denial is not just the denial of the xxxish Holocaust - Holocaust is the word given to the Armenian Genocide aswell - Churchill called the AG a holocaust before the Nazis came into power.

And I made it a point to make sure that I keep calling the AG a Holocaust to drive them closer together in terms of atrocity. Second off, the reason why it keeps going back to the xxxish Holocaust is because of the unfair treatment that the AG has gotten when compared to the xxxish Holocaust.

People weren't against the bills criminalizing Robert Faurisson and David Irving - they are however, obsessively anti-the new French bill.

And I couldn't compare it to the present Genocides because they are 1) not denied, and two - there has not been enough time passed between now and the Darfur/Sudan Genocides to analyze the world reaction.
