PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkey's Minister for EU Affairs and Chief
Negotiator called French President Nicolas Sarkozy a `Pinocchio'.
`In the fairy tale, Pinocchio's nose would grow when he told lies. I
know someone in France whose heels will be growing higher in the same
manner,' Egemen Bagis said, following French National Assembly's
adoption of a bill penalizing Armenian Genocide denial.
On December 22, French National Assembly passed the bill criminalizing
the Armenian Genocide denial. The draft law envisages a year in jail
and a fine of 45,000 euros for those who publicly deny the Armenian
Genocide in France.
