Following the French Senate's passing of the bill that criminalizes
the denial of genocides-including the Armenian Genocide-, Turkey's
Department of Food Control does not give permission to those companies
wishing to import meat from France.
Even though Turkey is not formally announcing that it has stopped the
import of meat from France, since that would be contrary to the World
Trade Organization rules, it internally refuses to give permission
to those wishing to import French meat, and on the grounds of the
absence of an inspecting veterinary, Haberturk of Turkey informs.
One meat importer noted that meat can easily be imported to Turkey
from any other country, but there are artificial argumentations in
the case of France.
Those in charge at Turkey's Department of Food Control denied that
there are difficulties in connection with importing meat from France.
It is noted that in line with 2011 data, Turkey imported 6,000 tons
of meat from France every month.
