Virtually all headlines of the Turkish print media on Tuesday referred
to the French Senate's passing of the bill that criminalizes the
denial of genocides, including the Armenian Genocide.
Aksam - "History is decapitated"
Hurriyet - "Democracy is massacred"
Milliyet - "Theater in empty hall"
Vatan - "France, you should be ashamed!"
Turkiye - "Europe denied itself"
Star - "Beheading of the freedom of speech"
Posta - "Sarkozy, you should be the one to think"
Cumhuriyet - "French justice"
Radikal - "The Senate wrote 'history'"
Yeni Akit - "The French Senate, too, said 'We are all Armenian'"
To note, with a vote of 127 in favor and 86 against, France's Senate
passed Monday the bill that criminalizes the denial of the genocides
which this country has formally recognized. And these are the Armenian
Genocide and the Jewish Holocaust. This bill sets a one-year prison
sentence plus a 45-thousand-Euro fine for anyone who denies these
genocides. According to the regulations, the French President will
ratify it within fifteen days. And Turkey had announced earlier
that if the bill were to pass, it will impose a number of sanctions
against France.
