(ANSAmed) - ANKARA, JANUARY 24 - Turkey will express "reactions in
all channels" and, "if the legislative procedure should be finalised,
will not hesitate to implement as appropriate the measures that we
have considered". This is according to a statement from the Turkish
Foreign Ministry, which condemns the launch by the Senate of a law
criminalising denial of the Armenian genocide. Turkey has not specified
what sanctions will be enforced upon the official presidential
signature of the bill and its publication in the Official Gazette.
"We will continue to make strong use of our right to defend ourselves
legitimately," the statement continues, calling "the exploitation
to internal political ends [of] such a delicate issue a highly
unfortunate step". This "politicisation", together with the "damage
done to freedom of expression" and to "academic research", represent
"a loss for France", according to a long statement by the Turkish
ministry, which adds that "no parliament" has "the right to judge
other nations". (ANSAmed).
