/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.
