Turkey’s Foreign Ministry says the country’s ambassador to France has
returned to his post to try to stop the approval of a law that would
make it a crime to deny that the mass killings of Armenians by Ottoman
Turks constitute genocide.

Foreign Ministry Spokesman Selcuk Unal said on Sunday that Ambassador
Tahsin Burcuoglu flew to Paris on Saturday after finishing his
consultations with senior Turkish officials. Burcuoglu had left Paris
on Dec. 23, a day after the French bill was passed in the lower house.
