TODAY FIRST TRIAL AGAINST TURKISH CONSULATE GENERAL IN PARIS FOR
DENIAL OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE WILL BE HELD IN FRANCE

PARIS, 12.10.04. Today the first trial against the Turkish Consulate
General on the suit of the Armenian National Committee (ANC) will be
held in France. As reported by Zaman Turkish newspaper, for the first
time the Turkish diplomat will be brought up due to `the so-called
Genocide ideas.` It should be noted that in its suit in June this
year the ANC demanded to call to account the Turkish Consulate
General in France for publishing materials on its web site, denying
the Armenian Genocide, and to close the site. Official Ankara hopes
for the French court not to allow the suit, taking into account the
diplomatic immunity. Otherwise, the court decision may tell on the
Turkish-French relations very negatively.
