Ankara: The Spokesperson for the Turkish government and Deputy Prime
Minister Bulent Arinc said Friday [16 December] that Turkey could
prevent the adoption of a resolution that criminalizes rejection of
Armenian allegations on the incidents of 1915 at the French Parliament.
Speaking to reporters following the meeting of the Council of Ministers
in Turkish capital of Ankara, Arinc said that "certain circles want
to sponsor such a resolution in the French Parliament due to internal
political reasons".
Turkey is in a position to prevent the adoption of such a resolution
and can explain why the resolution is wrong, Arinc stressed.
We hope that the French authorities take the necessary steps after a
letter sent by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan to French
President Nicolas Sarkozy and the relations do not get deteriorated,
Arinc underlined.
We will use our inter-governmental and inter-parliamentary relations
to prevent the adoption of such a resolution, Arinc also said.
