ANKARA – Turkish Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges (TOBB)
delegation left for Paris, France on Tuesday.

Holding a news conference at Esenboga Airport in Ankara, TOBB
Chairman Rifat Hisarciklioglu said that if a draft law which aims to
criminalize denial of so-called Armenian genocide is approved in the
French parliament, France would suffer much.

"Turkey opened its archives regarding so-called Armenian genocide.

France should also open its archives. Historians shall decide whether
there is a genocide or not," Hisarciklioglu noted.

"We will convey Turkey’s views on the matter to French business
executives during our visit to France," he added.
