Turkey has agreed to restore diplomatic ties with France and resume
all economic, political and military cooperation with it, Turkish
Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu announced on Thursday.
Davutoglu added that Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan
ordered the move following a positive meeting with French President
Francois Hollande. Ankara severed ties with Paris last December,
after the lower house of the French Parliament voted in favor of
a law which stipulated that denying the Armenian Genocide would be
punishable by a jail sentence of up to one year and a 45,000 euro fine.
