/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Turkish Parliamentarians Union head Hasan Korkmazcan
said yesterday that a bill about the Armenian genocide facing the
French Parliament this week will set a historical test for bilateral
relations, while French Ambassador to Ankara Paul Poudade asserted
that the French government opposes the bill. The debates about the
bill proposing prison terms and fines to those who question the
claims are mounting as the date for debates of the bill looms, New
Anatolian reports.
“Some politicians who have limited political influence, accepted
the Armenian Genocide claims,” Korkmazcan said adding that the bill
“is targeted against scientific investigations and freedom of speech.”
