Anadolu Agency (AA), Turkey
March 20, 2013 Wednesday
The Turkish-French Parliamentary Friendship Group has resumed its
activities.
AK Party's Sanliurfa MP Mehmet Kasim Gulpinar was re-elected the
co-chairman of the friendship group.
Nine MPs including five from the ruling Justice and Development Party
(AK Party), two from Republican People's Party (CHP) and one each from
the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) and Peace and Democracy Party
(BDP) work in the friendship group.
The number of friendship groups in the Turkish parliament has increased
to 122 with the re-activation of the Turkish-French Parliamentary
Friendship Group.
The Turkish-French Parliamentary Friendship Group was suspended on
December 22, 2011 following the acceptance of the bill penalizing
the denial of the Armenian allegations about Ottoman era incidents
in 1915 with a prison term which was later on objected by the French
Senate commission of laws.
