French President Francois Hollande answered Turkish reporter’s
question on inclusion of the Armenian Genocide materials in the
French textbooks.
Talking to Hurriyet on the margins of the 20th Annual Ambassador’s
Conference in Paris, Hollande said “it was absolutely out of his
knowledge.”
“Changes in the books are prepared by commissions … The desicion
does not come from me, but I will ask and learn where it comes from.
Then I will inform you,” Hurriyet Daily News quotes Hollande.
French Ambassador to Turkey Laurent Bili also said the French
Education Ministry was dealing with the issue adding it did not come
as a surprise.
