Turkey may step up moves against Paris on genocide: diplomat

PARIS: Turkey may step up action against France if the French Senate
votes this month to outlaw denial of the Armenian genocide, a Turkish
diplomatic source said Thursday.

“There may be a downgrading of the Turkish diplomatic representation
in Paris. It is probable,” if the upper house of parliament approves
the bill criminalizing denial of the disputed 1915 genocide, the
source told AFP.
