The Turkish Aeronautical Association (THK) has decided to cancel an
agreement with a French firm for the production of 150 parachutes, due
to the French Senate's recent decision to pass the alleged Armenian
Genocide Bill making it a crime to deny the alleged 1915 genocide of
Armenians in Turkey.
"The parachutes will now be sewn in a public enterprise in Kayseri,"
said THK President Osman Yıldırım in an interview with the Anatolia
news agency. Yıldırım added that these domestically sewn parachutes
would be more reasonably priced than the 500,000 euros that they were
going to initially give to the French firm, Hurriyet Daily reports.
