Turkish PM demands new investigations of Armenian Genocide

Turkey has never considered France an enemy, but it has disappointed
with the recent actions of Paris, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip
Erdogan said, 1news.az reports.

The statement was made to comment on the French bill criminalizing
denial of the Armenian Genocide. Erdogan said that there are over 1500
documents in Turkey that need studies. Armenia does not want to open
archieves, he said at a meeting with his Slovenian counterpart in
Lublin.

Refusal to grant Turkey membership in the EU for denial of the
Armenian Genocide is unjustified, Erdogan emphasizes.
