Davutoglu discusses Armenian Genocide bill with Belgian counterpart

On the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session in New York, Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu had a meeting with his Belgian counterpart Charles Michel.

The Resolution the Belgian Parliament adopted on the occasion of the Armenian genocide Centennial was high on the agenda, Ermenihaber.am reports, quoting Turkish TRThaber.com.

According to the source, the Belgian Prime Minister said the bill is of political importance and does not imply any legal consequences.

Davutoglu, in turn, expressed his discontent with sanctions against MPs that voted against the bill, meaning Mahinur Ozdemir, who is of Turkish descent.

Davutoglu added they are ready to discuss any issue, including the one of expelling the lawmaker from his party.
