It is not enough to be right

The French parliament has adopted a law which makes it illegal to deny the Turkish genocide of Armenians 1915-1917. It is a law against the freedom of speech, but even if one in general loves laws against the freedom of speech, this is not one of the ones to love. This is a law about something that happened in Turkey 90 years ago. The genocide did occur, but a lot of Turks have decided not to believe it - mostly out of national pride, one would assume. And a law against the belief of the majority of another country's government and parliament is rarely a wise move.
