'Turkey could give both a diplomatic and economic response in case
the resolution was enacted.' The president of the Parliamentary
Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) said on Monday that the
French president was using Turkey as a tool for internal politics.
Mevlut Cavusoglu said French President Nicolas Sarkozy was doing
everything it could to win back the support he lost before elections.
"Unfortunately, he is using Turkey as a tool for internal politics,"
Cavusoglu told reporters in Ankara.
Cavusoglu's remarks came after a French parliamentary commission
adopted a resolution on Armenian allegations regarding the incidents
of 1915.
"If that resolution is legalized, it will have serious results, harm
or suspend interparliamentary relations, have a negative impact on
the friendship group as well as economic and diplomatic relations,"
Cavusoglu said.
Cavusoglu said the resolution was contradictory to fundamental rights
and liberties, adding that Turkey could give both a diplomatic and
economic response in case the resolution was enacted.
The resolution will be voted at the general assembly on December 22.
It envisages "one-year prison term and 45,000 Euro fine for those
who deny genocide recognized by French laws."
The French Parliament ratified a resolution saying that "France
recognizes the Armenian genocide of 1915" on January 29, 2011.
