YEREVAN, JULY 6, ARMENPRESS: Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu during his working visit to Paris met French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius. The latter assured Davutoglu that the bill of Armenian Genocide denial criminalization can hardly be resumed. According to Armenpress, this information was informed by the Turkish media referring the “Reuters” news agency.
Turkey decreased the level of Turkish-French relations to the lowest stage after the French Parliament admitted a bill regarding Genocides as well as Armenian Genocide denial criminalization at the end of December, which was confirmed by the French Senate .The French Constitutional Council recognized the bill as unconstitutional on January, 2012.
After the presidential election in Paris, when François Hollande was selected as a president, Turkey announced that it opens a new page of relations with France. Then the presidents of two countries announced, that they removed the sanctions regarding the genocide bill in the hope that the new government will not follow the steps of previous government.
Before his departure, Davutoglu informed the Turkish media, that Turkey removed all the military area sanctions, which were once announced toward France.
Anyhow, it is evident that there are some contradictions between the new president and new government of France , as it was before.
François Hollande, after being selected as a president, has announced for several times, that one of the first things to be done will be the adoption of Genocide denial criminalization`s bill.
