    AFTER ELF AND L'OREAL, TEFAL THIRD FRENCH COMPANY NAMED IN BOYCOTT

    Journal of Turkish Weekly, Turkey
    Oct 29 2006

    ANKARA - Turkish Consumers Union named Tefal as the third company to
    be brought under the boycott campaign against a new French company
    every week following the French Parliament's decision on October 12,
    2006 concerning the so-called Armenian genocide.

    Consumers Union had initiated the boycott campaign with Total (Elf)
    petroleum retailer in the first week and brought L'oreal under the
    boycott in the following week.

    Consumers Union Chair Bulent Deniz called on the Turkish consumers
    not to buy products by French company Tefal. Deniz said `From today
    to the day that the unfortunate decision by the French Parliament
    is withdrawn, we are not buying the products by French Tefal and its
    subsidiaries Moulinex and Rowenta.'

    Deniz expressed his confidence that the boycott against Tefal would
    be supported by the consumers, like the Total and L'oreal boycotts
    initiated in the first two weeks, and stressed that the boycott would
    be decisively maintained until the legislation that criminalizes the
    denial of the so-called Armenian genocide is withdrawn.

    If the bill becomes law in France, all Turks and French would have to
    accept what the Armenians claim about the past. Turks and Armenians
    disagree on the 1915 Events. Turkey says about 2 million Turkish and
    other Muslim Ottoman citizens were massacred by the Armenian gangs,
    while the Armenians name the Armenian killings as genocide. Armenians
    rioted against Istanbul and joined the occupying Russian forces. The
    communal clashes and war curcumstances caused a great tragedy at
    both sides.
