Istanbul - Turkey threatened France with more sanctions Monday if it
adopts a bill would make it a crime to deny that Armenians suffered
genocide at the hand of Ottoman Turks during World War I.
Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said the next steps had already been
prepared, and warned Paris not to underestimate Ankara's resoluteness,
the Anadolu news agency reported. He spoke just before the French
Senate was due to debate the bill.
Turkey denies that the deaths of large numbers of Armenians constitute
genocide.
The lower house of the French parliament has already adopted the bill.
Ankara reacted to that vote by reducing military and business
cooperation with France. Turkish media reported the next steps might
be sanctions against French institutions operating in Turkey.
