Turkish premier unable to stomach Armenian Genocide bill
14:16 - 01.01.12
Turkish Premier has once more criticized France for a bill
criminalizing the denial of Armenian Genocide.
No one must pursue policy of exploiting Turkey for electoral gains -
it is unacceptable. France is not considering its own role in the 1915
events - its provocations and logistical support to gangs, the Turkish
premier said in a televised addressed to the nation.
Recep Erdogan called for opening archives and stated Turkey is against
distorting historical facts.
Depending on France moves with respect to the Armenian Genocide bill,
Turkey will consistently implement retaliatory measures. `We are not
going to conceal anything. We are not against revealing historical
facts, but we are against distorting history,' Erdogan said.
