ISTANBUL - "Adoption of such a draft law (at French national assembly
criminalizing denial of so-called Armenian genocide) cannot be accepted
and believed," said President Mehmet Ali Talat of Turkish Republic
of Northern Cyprus (TRNC) who arrived in Istanbul after completing
his meetings in Brussels.
Regarding the French draft law, Talat said that a very strange law was
adopted at French national assembly, adding that it is not a believable
decision while France is claiming championship in so-called freedom
of thought.
"France acted by believing that it will make the whole world accept
so-called Armenian genocide. Moreover, they made this by banning
freedom of expression and thought," he added.
Regarding Turkish novelist Orhan Pamuk's winning Nobel Prize for
literature, Talat said that it is a pleasing news. Talat congratulated
Turkish literature world and Turkey for this success.
