    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.
