    PRESIDENT GUL CONGRATULATES NEWLY ELECTED FRENCH PRESIDENT HOLLANDE

    Anadolu Agency
    May 7 2012
    Turkey

    Turkish President Abdullah Gul on Monday congratulated Francois
    Hollande for having been elected France's new President on Sunday.

    In a written message sent to Hollande, President Gul wished that
    Hollande's election would contribute to the development of bilateral
    relations.

    We expect the Hollande administration to take into consideration
    Turkey's sensitivities, Gul said in his message.

    Turkish-French relations were seriously hurt when the previous French
    administration blocked Turkey from negotiating certain chapters in its
    EU process and the French Parliament had adopted a law criminalizing
    the rejection of Armenian allegations pertaining to the incidents
    of 1915.

    Hollande made a promise to the Armenian diaspora that he would bring
    up the Armenian law at the Council of Europe if elected. The Council
    of Europe previously rejected the Armenian law.
