Turkey has an action plan for any decision made by the French Senate on
the bill on the criminalization of the denial of the Armenian Genocide,
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said, Trend reports.
Turkey hopes that the Senate would not pass the bill because it
violates the values of freedom and is aimed to contribute to popularity
of Sarkozy, the Turkish prime minister says.
Should the bill be passed, Ankara would harshen sanctions against
Paris.
The French Senate will hold talks on the bill today. The National
Assembly (lower chamber) passed the bill on criminal persecution for
denial of the Armenian Genocide. 45 out of 577 MPs were attending
the vote with 38 of them voting for and seven against. Denial of the
genocide will be punished with a fine of 45,000 euro. The Union for
a Popular Movement (UMP), the parliamentary majority, introduced the
bill to the National Assembly in early December.
