/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "A wrong step taken on October 12th will change many
things for France and not for Turkey," said Turkish Prime Minister
Recep Tayyip Erdogan when commenting on the French bill criminalizing
the denial of the Armenian Genocide.

"Initiative of France to turn a historical lie into a law is a big
challenge against EU`s fundamental values. The most valuable asset of
Copenhagen criteria is freedom of thought and expression. So when a
scientist says "this thing is against scientific and historical
realities" and this will be considered as a crime; then where is the
freedom of expression? Moreover, how can France be part of a problem
between Turkey and Armenia?" Erdogan asked. He said that international
politics cannot be made by avoiding scientific and historical
documents and remarked that France should look at what happened in
Algeria between November 1st, 1954 and March 19th, 1962, reports
Turkishpress.

“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
