    FRENCH REACTION TO SO-CALLED ARMENIAN GENOCIDE BILL

    Turkish Press
    Oct 8 2006

    BURSA - Turkish-French Trade Association Chairman Yves-Marie Laouenan
    said on Thursday that they have built a website to initiate a signature
    campaign against the bill on so-called Armenian genocide.

    Answering the questions of the press after his meeting with
    deputy-chairman of the Bursa Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BSTO)
    Ali Hazir, Laouenan said they believed that Turkey could not promote
    itself enough and they aimed at taking steps on the accurate promotion
    of Turkey.

    Stressing that as a chamber having approximately 450 members they
    can`t understand the recent developments in France and it was
    disturbing them.

    "If the bill becomes a law on September 12th, we will come to the
    conclusion that law replaced the historians. These developments
    are taking place at the same time when Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan
    offers a hand to Armenia. The timing is really disturbing" underscored
    Laouenan.

    The website for the signature campaign will be activated tomorrow.
