IN FRANCE, GENDARMERIE COMMANDER TO WARN APPROVAL OF ARMENIAN BILL
WOULD HURT TIES; FRENCH BUSINESSMEN PRESS FOR WITHDRAWAL OF BILL

Gendarmerie General Commander Fevzi Turkeri, currently in France for
an official visit, is set to tell his French counterparts that Ankara
is very sensitive about the so-called Armenian genocide issue. He is
expected to meet with his counterparts and say that approval of the
Armenian bill by France’s Parliament would hurt relations between the
two countries. In related news, leading French businessmen say that
the Armenian bill should be withdrawn as soon as possible, warning
that France could lose the Turkish market worth $4.7 billion.

“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
