KAYSERI - "Making denial of the so-called Armenian genocide a crime
in France, means this country goes back to Medieval ages," Turkish
Chambers & Commodity Exchanges (TOBB) President Rifat Hisarciklioglu
said on Monday.
Replying to questions of reporters on the issue, Hisarciklioglu said,
"France has pioneered freedoms since 1789. We have suggested resolving
this problem in a scientific platform by examining archives of Turkey
and Armenia. Armenia rejected our proposal."
Asked what would be the reaction of business circles in case of
approval of the resolution, Hisarciklioglu said, "there are reactions
from all over Turkey. We hope French parliament will not adopt the
resolution."
On the other hand Bulent Deniz, Chairman of the Turkish Consumers Union
released a written statement on Monday and said, "If the resolution
submitted to French parliament to make denial of so-called Armenian
genocide a crime is approved, we will start to boycott one French
product every week beginning, on October 12th."
"Our boycott will continue until the law on so-called Armenian genocide
will get annulled," noted Deniz.
Bulent Deniz added that Turkey must place a ban on all French firms
so that they cannot participate in tenders organized by Turkish
corporations.
