French Minister of Relations with Parlia

French Minister of Relations with Parliament, Patrick Ollier (L) listens to Valerie Boyer, UMP right-wing ruling party deputy, on December 22, 2011 in Paris at the French National Assembly, after lawmakers adopted a draft law to ban the denial of the Armenian genocide despite fierce warnings from Turkey of a diplomatic crisis and economic consequences. The vote, by a show of hands, saw the bill approved by a large majority of the about 50 deputies present in the National Assembly, with about a half-dozen voting against.
