The Prime Minister of Algeria criticized France’s accusing Turkey of
Armenian Genocide.

Abdulaziz Bilhadim, the Prime Minister of Algeria, reminded France of
their accusations about Turkey regarding the Armenian ‘genocide’. He
said: "you should also face your own history. You should accept your
crimes waged between 1830 and 1962. 1.5 million people died."

First apologize for the colonies

The Prime Minister of Algeria, reminded of the words of President
Chirac, said: "France should accept its crimes during the colonial
period in order to establish friendly relationships."

France is being forced to face its own music, after pressing Turkey
to recognize the Armenian genocide in order to become a member of
the EU. Algeria, its colony for years, where thousands of people
were killed, is charging France with a similar accusation; using the
words of president Chirac: "face your own history. Nations grow as
they accept their mistakes." The Prime Minister of Algeria reminded
of the words of President Chirac, said: "France should accept its
crimes waged during the colonial period in order to establish friendly
relationships."
