Hurriyet daily of Turkey claims that its reporter was able find French
President Nicolas Sarkozy's letter addressed to Turkish PM Recep
Tayyip Erdogan, with reference to France's examination of the bill that
criminalizes the denial of genocides, including the Armenian Genocide.
"Mr. Prime Minister, first, I would like to stress that the objective
of the genocide bill is to heal the wounds that have left open for
one-hundred years. The bill targets no people, or country. I know it
is not easy to confront history, but France has performed its duty in
this matter. Turkey is a big country and an important ally of France.
I wish for the two friendly and allied countries to manifest common
sense that is fitting to one another. Extreme steps, in connection
with this bill, will harm relations between the two countries, and the
responsibility will fall upon the party that has taken those steps,"
Hurriyet claims the French President's letter specifically reads.
