YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 18, ARMENPRESS: Foreign Ministers of France and
Turkey Alain Juppe and Ahmed Davutoglu discussed issues concerning the
Armenian Genocide. Armenpress reports, citing the Turkish mass media,
that the Turkish FM hinted a regular time at Turkey's wish to discuss
the genocide issue in the historians commission. In response to this,
the French FM reversed, noting, "The 1915 events are a very sensitive
question both for Armenians and Turks. That is why I would not go to
that unsuccessful idea of discussing that issue in a joint commission."
To remind, during his visit to Armenia French President Nicolas
Sarkozy promised that if Turkey does not recognize the fact of the
Armenian Genocide by the end of the year, the French parliament will
adopt the bill criminalizing the genocide denial.
