  • Ankara: Turkish-French Parliamentary Friendship Group Reactivated

    TURKISH-FRENCH PARLIAMENTARY FRIENDSHIP GROUP REACTIVATED

    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.
