    Azerbaijani, Turkish diaspora in Sweden send protest to French embassy
    Fri 06 January 2012 14:54 GMT | 16:54 Local Time


    The heads of Azerbaijani and Turkish diaspora organizations in Sweden
    have written a joint letter of protest against French policy towards
    Armenia.

    The letter sent to the French embassy in Sweden was signed by the head
    of the Sweden- Azerbaijan Federation, Settar Sevigin, and the head of
    the Ataturk Ideology Centre, Mustafa Sonmez, Gun.Az reports.

    The letter condemns the French National Assembly's approval of a bill
    criminalizing the denial of genocide. If passed by the Senate, the
    bill will make it a crime to deny any genocide recognized by France,
    including denial that the 1915 killings of Armenians in the Ottoman
    Empire were genocide.

    The letter says that approval of the bill will increase feuds and racism.

    The letter is supported by 12 NGOs. It was sent to the French embassy
    together with an English edition of Kamran Gur’s book entitled
    “Armenian File”.
