/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul, on a visit to Paris,
has reportedly relayed Ankara’s concerns over a bill being introduced
to the French Parliament by the Socialist Party which would make it a
crime to publicly deny the Armenian Genocide. Gul voiced the concerns
of the AKP-led administration at a working dinner with his French
counterpart, Foreign Minister Phillipe Douste-Blazy. Reminding
Douste-Blazy that Ankara had already proposed that a joint commission
of historians work together on the matter, Gul said that French
historians and historians from any country interested would be welcome
to work on the commission, the Hurriyet Turkish newspaper writes.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
