Baku, Fineko/abc.az. Hopes for a common sense of the French Senate
failed as the belief in a flat earth.
Yesterday by 127 votes "for" with 86 votes "against" the French Senate
approved a bill criminalizing denial of Armenian genocide in 1915-17 in
the Ottoman Empire. Now French President Nicolas Sarkozy has 15 days
to sign the bill. Given the Sarkozy's statements and the fact that
the bill was introduced by his party "Union for a Popular Movement,"
the approval of the law can hardly be doubted.
Already today, Turkey, as a successor to the Ottoman Empire, will
announce its official response to the actions of France. Meanwhile,
Turkish Foreign Ministry said that France violated international law
by its irresponsible decision and announced that the country would
not hesitate in applying those measures that it deems appropriate
and which are thought out in advance.
Whatever it was, the adoption of this bill is the biggest in modern
history, Turkey's foreign policy defeat. In addition to the formal
political troubles, the new French law almost completely closes the
road for Turkey in the European Union. The latter, even without that,
did not wait in its member ranks the second, after Russia, Euro-Asian
power, and now actually Turkey was put in the position of Serbia, by
placing deliberately unacceptable political ultimatum. What is today
France believes "genocide" was actually a process of transformation
of super-ethnic nature of the Ottoman Empire in the national Turkish
Republic. Without events in 1915-23 there would be no Turkey in the
modern sense.
