Elections more important for France than future generations
French administration thinks about future elections instead of future
generations, says EU Minister Bagis ANKARA Turkish Minister of EU
Affairs and Chief Negotiator Egemen Bagis on Saturday said that the
French administration thought about future elections instead of future
generations. Bagis’s comments came after Armenian allegations
pertaining to the incidents of 1915 entered French textbooks and
reports that French President Francois Hollande was working on a draft
law that would criminalize any rejection of the Armenian allegations
regarding the 1915 incidents.
Speaking to the Anadolu Agency (AA), Egemen Bagis said that President
Hollande should keep in mind the fate of his predecessor while working
on such a draft law.
We do hope that Hollande will take into consideration the would-be
costs of his draft law on the Armenian allegations related to the
incidents of 1915, Bagis stressed.
“Turkey’s history is one with pride and should be appreciated,” Bagis also said.
