Armenian Genocide Law: Turkey Warns France


The French parliament is going to discuss about Armenian Genocide Law bill. Armenian Genocide Law would make it illegal to deny the mass murder of Armenian citizens in First World War.

On 22nd December discussion is schedule to begin in Legislature assembly of France and, in case if the Armenian Genocide Bill becomes reality, then one year imprisonment with fine will become mandatory

From a long time this issue has been source of conflict between Turkey and France. Turkish government claims that majority of Armenian revolted against Ottoman Empire, and most of the Turks died in the struggle. According to Turkish government three hundred thousand of Armenians citizen were killed, but Armenian and French government says that more than 1.5 million Armenian citizens were killed in the struggle during First World War.

The Turkish government in a press release warned French government that Armenian Genocide Law bill may harm relationship between Turkey and France on international level.

Turkey's president Abdullah Gul said hoped that French government will reconsider their decision so that, friendship between two countries remain strong. He hoped that France will not affect relationship between two countries, just to gain political mileage. In another press conference, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned French President Nicolas Sarkozy, against permitting Armenian genocide law bill to pass in legislation. Turkish Prime Minister Erdogan reminded French President Sarkozy, about his promise of not allowing any such proposal to make Armenian genocide law bill a reality in France. A Turkish delegation, consisting of Members of Parliament of Turkey, will meet French president Nicolas Sarkozy and the members of French legislative assembly, and will discuss about the Armenian Genocide Law and opinion of people of Turkey
On 22nd December 2011, Turkish President Abdullah Gul requested French government to reconsider the plan of passing Armenian Genocide Bill. He said that this bill is unacceptable. President of Turkey Abdullah Gul feels that Armenian Genocide Law will deny Turkish government liberty of rejecting unfair and pointless allegations made on their citizen and nation. In another effort, Turkish opposition party proposed a bill to outlaw France’s Armenian Genocide Law. In this bill, one year of imprisonment and a fine of ninety thousand will be charged as fine. Turkish President’s remarks came, when French Parliament is preparing to vote for the bill. President Gul drawn attention to the timing of debate on the Armenian Genocide Law bill, indicating that may be it is a political stunt to get votes of Armenian origin people. President of Turkey Mr. Abdullah Gul requested France to not to take this initiative as it will become obstacle in the research on 1915 events. The Turkish leader asked France to use common sense. He said that history should be written by historians and not by politicians

If Armenian Genocide Law become a reality as it is expected by most of the politicians in France, then anyone who publicly rejects the Armenian Genocide in France would face one year imprisonment in jail and a fine of forty five hundred thousand of euros.
