/PanARMENIAN.Net/ A rally with a slogan "Stop, France!
Armenian Genocide is a lie" was held in Turkey.
Although the rally in front of the French Consulate General in Istanbul
was authorized, policemen did not let the protesters come up to the
Consulate. Labor Party Chairman Dogu Perincek accused Prime Minister
Erdogan of deploying Turkish policemen on "French barricades." "France
lost 5 thousand soldiers when fighting against us. If the bill on
Genocide is passed by the French parliament October 12 the selling of
French products will be boycotted from October 13," he said. Yesterday
Prime Minister Erdogan said that France's involvement in the Genocide
issue will be harmful for it and extreme measures will be taken
in case the bill is adopted. Turkish Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul
during a phone conversation with his French counterpart stated that
the adoption of the bill will badly damage the relations between the
two states. Abdullah Gul said that French companies will be forbidden
to participate in all international tenders scheduled in Turkey for
the construction of a nuclear power plant and helicopters selling.
The justice committee of the Turkish Grand National Assembly October
11 will discuss a bill condemning the killing of 250 thousand peaceful
Muslims during a military operation conducted by France in 1960-ies
as genocide. If the French parliament passes the bill on the Armenian
Genocide, the Turkish parliament will officially approve the bill
on genocide committed by France against Algerians. According to the
bill, anyone who denies that the French committed genocide against
the Algerians could be put in jail for 3 years.
