    Referring to the adoption of a bill penalizing the denial of the so
    called Armenian genocide in France, Turkey's Chief EU Negotiator Ali
    Babacan said on Thursday that the government would not encourage a
    boycott of French goods; adding that it was up to the Turkish public.


    "As the government of Turkey, we are not encouraging something like
    that. But the decision is up to the people", he remarked in Brussels
    where he has been as part of his Europe tour.

    "It will definitely cause some backlash in the Turkish society",
    Babacan went on to say, adding that the controversial draft law was
    not in line with the core values of the EU.
