Ankara: Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu discussed the bill
on Armenian allegations regarding 1915 incidents with the ambassador
of EU term president Poland.
Davutoglu told Polish ambassador to Turkey Marcin Wilczek that
initiative at the French parliament on draft law criminalizing
rejection of Armenian allegations pertaining to the incidents of 1915
was unacceptable.
Officials said Davutoglu, who met with Wilczek over a luncheon,
told him that the matter must not be taken up by politicians but
by historians.
The initiative in France aimed to restrict freedoms of expression
and thought, he said.
The meeting also focused on visa procedure for Turkish citizens,
the latest developments in Cyprus issue and Turkey-EU relations,
officials added.
