    TURKISH HYSTERIA IS ON ITS HEIGHT

    As French Senate accepted the bill on criminalization of Armenian
    Genocide denial, Turkish politicians and journalists reacted
    hysterically to this event. They continue speaking about sanctions
    by Turkey, which experts do not consider serious. Turkey demands from
    France exonomically so no real pressure can take place.

    "The French Parliament approved the bill late on Monday, risking more
    sanctions from Turkey and complicating an already delicate relationship
    with the rising power. Turkey, which sees the allegations of genocide
    as a threat to its national honor, has already suspended military,
    economic and political ties and briefly recalled its ambassador last
    month when the lower house of parliament approved the same bill",
    Today's Zaman writes.

    Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement today on
    the issue. "We strongly condemn this decision, which is problematic
    in every aspect and constitutes an example of irresponsibility,
    and declare that we will express our reaction against it in every
    platform," the statement said.

    "It is obvious that the interpretation of historical events cannot be
    determined by the attitude of French politicians who see in themselves
    the right to judge other nations on the basis of one-sided views and
    declare a judgment on a serious allegation of crime such as genocide,
    thereby ignoring the principles of international law," the Turkish
    MFA said, adding that "it is further unfortunate that the historical
    and multi-dimensional relations between the Republic of Turkey and
    France have been sacrificed to considerations of political agenda in
    spite of all our initiatives and warnings, as well as the opinions
    of prominent French institutions and jurists."
