Nov 16 2006
The top commanding officer of the Turkish Land Forces, General Ilker
Basbug, has said that following the French Parliament's decision to
approve a bill calling for jail time and monetary fines for people
publicly denying Armenian genocide allegations, that high level visits
between his officers and French land forces officers are no longer
on the docket.
Basbug commented yesterday that relations between Turkish and
French military officials are currently "shelved" in the wake of the
controversial French parliamentary decision. Basbug's comments came
during a reception in honor of the founding of the Northern Cypriot
republic.
