PARIS – A delegation headed by Union of Turkish Chambers & Commodity
Exchanges (TOBB) Chairman Rifat Hisarciklioglu arrived in French
capital of Paris on Tuesday to lobby against the resolution, which
criminalizes rejecting of so-called Armenian genocide claims.
TOBB delegation held talks with leading French businessmen including
members of the Paris Chamber of Commerce & Industry, the Union of
European Chambers of Commerce & Industry (Eurochambers) and the MEDEF
International after their arrival.
They stressed that enactment of the resolution would play havoc with
the bilateral relations between Turkey and France.
The delegation is expected to return to Turkey tomorrow.
Turkish business circles believe in that the Armenian issue may damage
Turkish-French economic relations a lot.
