Strasbourg. Fuad Gulubeyli - APA. Turkish Vice Prime Minister
Bulent Arinc, who is on a visit to Strasbourg, made comments on the
discussions in the French Senate.
APA's European bureau reports that Bulent Arinc said Turkey saw France
as an example country and the two countries had good relations.
"Unfortunately the wrong decisions today are damaging these relations.
The draft law discussed in the French Senate is seriously damaging
the freedom of speech. It is contradictory to the European Convention
on Human Right and European Court's resolutions as well. Armenian
diaspora abroad created the "Armenian genocide" claims. We don't
understand the desire of French parliamentarians to write a history.
This issue should be researched by the historians. But today France
uses these issues for its domestic political purposes. It doesn't
become French history and past. We hope that this misunderstanding will
be resolved in the French Senate today. If the draft law is adopted,
it will seriously damage the French-Turkish relations".
Bulent Arinc said history should be left to the historians to
be researched. "Five years ago, Turkey proposed to establish the
commission of historians to investigate the "genocide" claims, but
Armenia rejected this proposal. Turkey is attributed to its past and
is ready to face with history. It is wrong and dishonesty to introduce
the World War One events as genocide".
