A Turkish parliamentary delegation has left for Paris nine days before
France passes a bill calling for the penalization of anyone who says
“an act of genocide did not take place against the Armenians in the
past”. The delegation is composed of AKP [Justice and Development
Party] members Mehmet Dulger, head of the Turkish Grand National
Assembly Foreign Relations Committee, and Musa Sivacioglu and CHP
[Republican People’s Party] members Onur Oymen and Gulsun Bilgehan
Toker. It will explain the harm the bill might cause in France’s
relations with Turkey if it is passed.
