French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius Touched Upon The Armenian
Issue in an interview with Le Monde.
"As regards the Armenian issue, we must consider the decision of the
Constitutional Council," he said.
Fabius said it would not be easy to mend relations with Turkey in
the context of the tension occurred due the bill criminalizing the
Armenian Genocide denial. However, the French FM said they had good
contacts with President Gul in Chicago.
Earlier newly elected French President Francois Hollande said he
would also pass the bill.
"However, there are legal constraints. Anyway, it is important
to resume relations with Turkey, which plays a major role, both
economically and diplomatically, for example on the Syrian and Iranian
issues," Fabius said.
