Turkey on Friday asked French senators to reject a bill criminalising
the denial of the Armenian genocide, which comes before the French
Senate next Monday.
"We expect (President Nicolas) Sarkozy, his party, and the French
Senate to respect European values before anything else. Those who
exploit history will themselves suffer from this exploitation,"
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said in televised remarks.
"We invite each French senator to stop for a while and think beyond
all political interests," Davutoglu told the press.
"If the bill passes, it will remain as a black stain in France's
intellectual history. And we will always remind them this black stain,"
he said.
