Under the article French genocide bill angers Turkey British BBC
has referred today to Turkey’s response to the bill criminalising
the denial of the Armenian Genocide which will be discussed at the
French National Assembly. BBC says Prime Minister of Turkey and other
officials warned of irreparable damage to French-Turkish ties if the
legislation is passed.
Last week, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan wrote to French
President Nicolas Sarkozy warning him that the proposed legislation,
set to go before the National Assembly on Thursday, was “hostile”
and directly targeted Turkey and Turks living in France.
“Such steps will have grave consequences for future relations between
Turkey and France in political, economic, cultural and all areas,
and the responsibility will rest with those behind this initiative,”
the Anatolia news agency quoted him as saying.
