Turkish Minister for EU Affairs Egemen Bagis has been infuriated
by the French authorities’ decision to include a chapter about the
Armenian Genocide in the text books of the French secondary schools.

Aksam quotes Bagis as saying that instead of distorting historical
facts France should better review its own history and try to be more
active in resolving the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

It was the decision of the Francois Holland administration to include
the Armenian Genocide chapter in the text books of the French
secondary schools. Just like his predecessor, Nicholas Sarkozy,
Holland has promised to have adopted a bill criminalizing the denial
of the Armenian Genocide.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
