Turkish ambassador to return to Paris to fight genocide bill
Jan 4, 2012, 10:32 GMT
Paris - Turkey's ambassador to France will return to Paris in the
coming days to lobby the French Senate against the adoption of a bill
making it a crime to deny that Armenians suffered genocide, the
Turkish embassy in Paris confirmed Wednesday.
'He will come back in four or five days time,' embassy spokesman Engin
Solakoglu told dpa. 'He will try stop this bill being adopted by the
Senate.'
Solakoglu said Turkey, which recalled its ambassador on December 22
after the lower house of the French parliament adopted the bill, might
further downgrade its ties with France if the Senate passed the bill
and made it into law.
