    Erdogan continues threatening France over Genocide bill

    December 18, 2011 - 16:08 AMT

    PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said
    Turkey would retaliate by all diplomatic means if the French senate
    approved the bill penalizing Armenian Genocide denial.

    "I would like to reaffirm that we will resort to all diplomatic means
    to stand against such unjust, biased, populist and unlawful attempts,"
    Erdogan told reporters in a joint press conference with Mustafa Abdel
    Jalil, head of Libya's National Transitional Council, Trend reported,
    citing Anadolu Agency.

    A draft law envisaging a one-year prison sentence and 45,000 euro fine
    for denying the Armenian Genocide is due to go before French
    parliament next week.
