Jean-Michel Tibauks, a French historian, has made an official appeal
to be accepted as a Turkish Citizen as a sign of protest on the review
of the draft law on criminal responsibility of those who reject the
so-called 'Armenian genocide'.
Trend Special Correspondent in Ankara reports that the written
appeal by the French historian is currently under consideration
with the Foreign Policy Commission of the Great Assembly of Turkey
[parliament], headed by MP Mehmed Dulger.
Having been informed of the French historian's situation, the Turkish
Prime Minister Erdogan instructed the relevant authorities to consider
his appeal.
In his appeal to the Turkish scientists, Tibauks explained his decision
was as a rebellion against the policy of blackmailing by France
against Turkey. The historian felt that this is a cheap domestic policy
targeted to attract the votes of electors of Armenian nationality.
