/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Consultations will be held in Ankara with all
Turkish Ambassadors accredited abroad, as it was the case with
envoys to Paris and Ottawa – Osman Koroturk and Aydemir Erman,
stated Turkish MFA Spokesperson Namik Tan. In his words, after the
French Senate recognized the Armenian Genocide in 2001, Turkey also
recalled Ambassador to France, who returned to Paris after a 6-month
stay in Ankara.
Turkish President Ahmet Necdet Sezer is going to send a letter to
Jacquest Chirac. Simultaneously, economic sanctions against Paris are
considered. “Political circles of Ankara hope that French companies,
specifically Renault, will oppose to Government decision,” Tan stated,
reports the Marmara Istanbul-based newspaper.
