    LIBERALS AT EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT CRITICIZE FRENCH SENATE FOR ARMENIAN BILL

    Turkey

    The Liberals at the European Parliament reacted against an Armenian
    bill that was adopted by the French Senate on Monday.

    The Liberals's Turkey Rapporteur Alexander Graf Lambsdorff, in a
    written statement released Tuesday, said that the bill added a burden
    to already difficult Turkey-EU relations.

    British Liberal and a member of the Turkey-EU Joint Parliamentary
    Committee, Andrew Duff, said that "the definition of a genocide is
    the duty of the judiciary. This issue can not be brought down to the
    level of party politics".

    An Armenian bill adopted at the French Senate on Monday would
    criminalize the denial of Armenian allegations pertaining to the
    incidents of 1915 in France with a prison term of one year and a
    monetary fine of 45,000 euros.
