FRENCH LEADER REACTS TO CRITICISM

Tert.am
23.12.11

Today, in an interview with journalists from the French television
France 2, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, reacts to criticism of
Ankara, said:

“France [has a] supremely defined policy. France does not require
authorization. France has convictions. The Human Rights. Respect to the
memory. Ten years ago, France passed a law recognizing the Armenian
genocide. 1.5 million Armenians [were] massacred. The question in
Parliament today was to determine if recognition of the genocide was
to involve those who doubt… France has principles. It carries a
message. Each country must make the effort to revisit its past. France
not will give a lesson to anyone, but France does not want to receive
[lessons].”
