Turkey’s ally Azerbaijan on Tuesday denounced as anti-democratic the
French Senate’s approval of a law making it illegal to deny that the
mass killings of Armenians during World War I were genocide.

“The Republic of Azerbaijan deplores the law adopted by the French
Senate to criminalise the denial of the ‘Armenian genocide’ and
expresses strong protest over this,” the foreign ministry in Baku
said in a statement.
