Algeria asks Turkey to stop citing French massacre
Algeria’s prime minister wants Turkish authorities to stop referring
to Algerian history under French colonization as part of Turkey’s
quarrel with France over genocide allegations.
Turkey halted political contacts with France last month after French
lawmakers passed a bill that would make it a crime to deny that mass
killings of Armenians by Ottoman Turks nearly a century ago
constituted genocide.
Turkey’s prime minister then accused the French of “genocide” during
France’s 132-year colonial rule in Algeria.
