EU makes it against law to condone genocide - but not Armenian Genocide
"All 27 EU nations will be obliged to criminalise “publicly condoning, denying or grossly trivialising crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes” but the test for prosecution was set deliberately high to secure agreement in Luxembourg. Cases will succeed only where “the conduct is carried out in a manner likely to incite violence or hatred”.
The definition of genocide will be that set at the Nuremberg trials and by the International Criminal Court, meaning that it will include Nazi crimes and those in Rwanda and Yugoslavia but not the Armenian genocide — a definition disputed by Turkey."
