In his statement, an official of the Turkish Foreign Ministry
indicated that statements by the French President Jacques Chirac
during his visit to Armenia on the so-called ‘Armenian genocide’ do
not coincide with the principles that this incident should not be of
any historical value.
Trend Special Correspondent in Ankara announced that biased statements
by the French President in Yerevan disappointed the people of Turkey
and forms the wrong impression that recognition of the so-called
genocide by Turkey is a pre-condition for Turkey’s entry into the
European Union.
