/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The adoption of the bill penalizing the Armenian
Genocide denial in France is a "great injustice" toward Turkey,
Turkish Ambassador to Azerbaijan Turan Morali told reporters October
11. He remarked that France’s move aroused anxiety in Turkey.
"The step taken by the French government is very primitive. The
adoption of the bill by a country like France arouses regret," Morali
said. The diplomat considers that the recognition of the Armenian
Genocide by France will hamper Turkey’s accession to the EU.
Morali also remarked that the Turkish government welcomes the Azeri
parliament’s stand on the issue.
"Yesterday we spoke to the chairman of the state committee on the
affairs of Azeris living abroad," he said and thanked the Azerbaijani
government for support, reports Trend news agency.
