DUBAI (A.A) -January 31, 2012 -Turkey's president expressed belief on
Tuesday [31 January] that the French Constitutional Council would make
the right decision on the law penalizing denial of Armenian allegations
on the Ottoman era incidents of 1915, adopted at the French Senate.
President Abdullah Gul said he did not think that the French would
overshadow their own country.
"Now the Constitutional Court will make the right decision," Gul told
reporters in Dubai.
Earlier on Tuesday, French senators appealed on Tuesday the law
penalizing denial of the Armenian allegations on the Ottoman era
incidents of 1915 adopted at the French Senate.
65 MPs and 72 senators signed to appeal the law at the French
Constitutional Council.
The council is expected to make public its decision within a month.
The French Parliament and Senate enacted the bill last week.
The law penalizes denial of the Armenian allegations with a prison
term of one year and a fine of 45,000 euros.
