Reactions to France’s bill attempt for Armenian genocide are
increasing. Boycotting French goods has come up on the agenda; at
the first stage, import goods from this country will be reduced.

Turkish companies, unions, chambers and consumer associations rebelled
against the legal draft anticipating penalty for the ones who reject
Armenian genocide which will be discussed in the French Parliament
on October 12. Besides the civil society reactions, the personal
reactions to France are also remarkable.
