live with the consequences of the French parliament’s decision to
approve a bill making it a criminal offence to deny allegations that
Armenians were massacred by the Ottoman Empire, Turkey’s Foreign
Minister said late Thursday.

Speaking at a joint press conference with visiting Afghani Foreign
Minister Rangin Dadfar Spanta in Ankara, Foreign Minister Abdullah
Gul said that France could no longer describe itself as the home of
freedoms. `France will live with this shame,’ Gul said. `I hope that
France will take a backward step from this dead end.’ Turkey will
take every step necessary to counter the impression created by the
passing of the legislation, he said.

“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
