/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Turkish government has determined “sanctions
to be applied against France” in protest of the bill penalizing the
Armenian Genocide denial. Official Ankara decided to “freeze all
bilateral relations in political and military fields.”
French companies will be deprived of the right to participate in the
tenders for Turkish defense and energy projects. The prohibition
will first of all refer to the projects of nuclear power plants
construction, each costing $5 billion. Besides, French companies
will be removed from the tenders announced by the General Staff of
the Turkish Armed Forces, reports Azeri Press.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
