FRENCH AMBASSADOR ON SO-CALLED ARMENIAN GENOCIDE ALLEGATIONS
ANKARA – “I think that any one with common sense can see that I have
no intention to intimidate anything between Turkey and France,“ said
French Ambassador to Turkey Paul Poudade.
Answering questions of reporters, Poudade indicated, “they tried to
derive a sensational meaning from my words, but it is not so. What I
said was so clear. Those who read my remarks can understand what I
mean.“
Poudade said that Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan wanted to express
his concerns during his meeting with executives of French companies
investing in Turkey.
“My duty is to convey these concerns and sensitivities to the other
party,“ he noted.
Poudade indicated that PM Erdogan is in fact trying to preserve
friendly relations between Turkey and France. “This is everybody`s
aim,“ he added.
