PARIS (A.A) - Turkish Ambassador in Paris Tahsin Burcuoglu has said
that the decision of the Constitutional Council of France had left no
any open door to preparation of a new bill criminalizing the rejection
of the Armenian allegations regarding the incidents of 1915.
Ambassador Burcuoglu held a press conference upon decision of the
Constitutional Council and said, "all the experts in constitutional
law we have interviewed say, 'there is no way of reopening a gate to
this issue until lawmakers come from space and find a new formula.'
Also the historians and jurists are against this law."
Burcuoglu said that judgment of Constitutional Council was important
in terms of avoiding such attempts from spreading to other countries.
"After the law was adopted by the parliament, diplomatic relations
have been dropped to minimum level. We will follow the election
process and its results and we will determine a new attitude upon
our meetings with French officials."
