Through Dialogue
Saturday, 10 December 2011 14:16 .
Turkey expressed its expectation from France to make a contribution in
discussing Turkish-Armenian controversy through dialogue regarding
1915 incidents. Turkish Foreign Ministry stated on Saturday that
initiatives to bring penal sanction force in a law on 1915 incidents
--which had been adopted in France in 2001 and gave credit to only one
party's views-- recurred especially during electoral periods in
France.
A draft law which was adopted at a commission in French Parliament on
December 7, 2011 was the recent example of those initiatives, said the
ministry, stressing that French administration knew the sensitivity of
this matter for Turkey.
We hope French administration will not take irreparable steps, while
Turkey and France have entered a stable period during which the two
countries can boost cooperation opportunities on bilateral and
international levels, said the ministry.
