TUSIAD SENDS LETTER TO FRENCH DEPUTIES, SENATORS WARNING ABOUT
HARMFUL BILL
The Turkish Industrialists’ and Businessmen’s Association (TUSIAD)
sent a letter this week to French parliamentarians rebuffing the
genocide allegations at the heart of a new bill criminalizing denial
of the `genocide’ and also warning of the damage bilateral relations
could suffer over the measure. The letter signed by TUSIAD Chairman
Omer Sabanci was sent to 577 deputies and 331 senators, and also said
that the proposed bill would have a chilling effect on freedom of
expression and historical research. /Hurriyet/
