PARIS – A Turkish Parliamentary delegation arrived in Paris to lobby
against the draft resolution which considers denial of so-called
Armenian genocide claims a crime.
The Turkish Parliamentary delegation, led by Turkish MP Mehmet Dulger,
who is the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee in the Parliament,
is comprised of Justice & Development Party (AKP) and Republican
People’s Party (CHP) parliamentarians.
The delegation would ask for the resolution, submitted by the French
Socialist Party, to be rejected.
The Turkish parliamentarians are expected to point out that approval
of the resolution would harm Turkish-French relations.
