Turkey promises sanctions against France for passing a law on
criminal persecution for the non-recognition of Armenian Genocide,
ANS Press reports.

Turkey plans to withdraw its Ambassador Takhsin Burzhuoglu from
France. Turkey would demand the same step from Paris. Turkey would
withdraw its military attaches and cancel accreditation of the
French ones.

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said that Turkey would
recognize genocide of Algerians by France in 1945. Other Turkish steps
are limitation of French participation in tenders, a stop for exchange
of recon information, a close of air access to Turkey for French air
forces, a band for French military vessels on Turkish territorial
waters. Turkey would also stop support of France in international
organizations, stop giving information on Iran, Syria and the Middle
East and would stop cooperating in science, technologies and culture.

“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
