PARIS (Combined Sources)-Several political party leaders in France
urged Turkey to recognize the Armenian Genocide, reported the France-2
television channel.

Motivated by their inherent opposition to Turkey’s membership in
the European Union, the mainly right-leaning political parties are
attempting to use the Genocide recognition issue to create further
obstacles for Turkey.

Meanwhile, the left-leaning parties are hoping for reforms in Turkey,
especially on the treatment of minorities and the Armenian issue.
