Turkey fumes as French lawmakers adopt genocide bill
Paris/Ankara, Muharram 27, 1433, Dec 22, 2011, SPA -- Angered by
France's National Assembly adoption of a bill making it a crime to
deny that Armenians suffered genocide at the hands of Ottoman Turks
during World War, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan reacted
with a package of decisions, saying he was recalling Turkey's
ambassador from Paris, French military planes could no longer flyover
Turkey, French naval ships could no longer dock in Turkish ports, and
all military, political, economic and educational exchanges, visits
and commission meetings were cancelled.
"We don't have genocide in our history," Erdogan told reporters in Ankara.
