    TAN: WE HOPE FRENCH AUTHORITIES TO REJECT IT

    Turkish Press
    Oct 25 2006

    ANKARA - "We hope that French authorities will reject the draft law
    (criminalizing denial of so-called Armenian genocide)," Turkish
    Foreign Ministry Spokesman Namik Tan said on Wednesday.

    In his weekly press conference, Tan noted that French government has
    launched some initiatives to counter the draft law, stating that it
    was a positive development.

    "(French) government has undertaken some initiatives against this
    bill," he stressed.

    On the other hand, a delegation headed by Rifat Hisarciklioglu, the
    Chairman of the Union of Chambers & Commodity Exchanges of Turkey
    (TOBB), met representatives of French Economy & Social Labor Council
    in Paris this morning.

    Sources quoted Hisarciklioglu as saying in the meeting that the
    bill was against freedom of expression, stressing that it would harm
    relations between the two countries.

    After holding talks in Paris, TOBB delegation left France for Turkey.
