Turkish Parliament has decided to send December 18 a missionary
delegation to Paris for preventing the adoption of the Bill on
Criminalizing the Denial of the Armenian Genocide, which will
be brought to a vote December 22 at the French parliament. The
parliamentary delegation of Turkey will be headed by Chairman of
the Foreign Relations Committee Volkan Bozkir, Armenpress reports,
citing Turkish mass media.
"We will hand the letter of our parliament to the chairman of the
French Parliament. Maybe we will manage to prevent the adoption of the
Armenian Bill as a result of the meetings. We will try to present to
French community the dangerous consequences of the adoption of the
bill for Turkish-French relations," Bozkir told Turkish mass media.
The bill envisages 45000 euros fine and one-year imprisonment for
the denial of the Armenian Genocide.
It is noteworthy that even Turkish analysts find that the possibility
of adoption of the Armenian Bill at the French Parliament is very big,
because Turkey has no serious levy of preventing it.
