YEREVAN, JANUARY 31, ARMENPRESS: The adoption of the bill penalizing the denial of the Armenian Genocide by the France's Senate is a response to Turkey which is trying to speak in a language of ultimatum. Turkologist Levon Hovsepyan noted that the threats voiced by Turkey addressed to France will first of all harm Turkey in political and economic respects. "Turkey is in a complicated situation connected with Iran as well. On one hand it cannot ignore Iran and on the other the West," the Turkologist said. Turkey is trying to hold a double game for its own security. "The policy of that country is like the behavior of a petulant boy. Its opportunities are quite limited," Hovsepyan said.

He stressed that in reality Turkey can do nothing as there are fixed borders which it does not have right to cross.
