France's Hollande promises to bring back genocide bill

French presidential frontrunner François Hollande has promised to bring back a government-backed law criminalizing denials of the 1915 events as genocide if he is elected even though the country’s Constitutional Council rejected a similar bill yesterday, Hurriyet Daily News  reports. 
 
Hollande promised to reopen the debate in a peaceful negotiation process if he becomes the next president. 
 
"It is impossible to prepare a new draft due to the approaching end of the legal year," Hollande said. "But I will bring it up again, and try to live up to my promises."
