    (ANSAmed) - ANKARA, JANUARY 24 - Turkey will express "reactions in
    all channels" and, "if the legislative procedure should be finalised,
    will not hesitate to implement as appropriate the measures that we
    have considered". This is according to a statement from the Turkish
    Foreign Ministry, which condemns the launch by the Senate of a law
    criminalising denial of the Armenian genocide. Turkey has not specified
    what sanctions will be enforced upon the official presidential
    signature of the bill and its publication in the Official Gazette.

    "We will continue to make strong use of our right to defend ourselves
    legitimately," the statement continues, calling "the exploitation
    to internal political ends [of] such a delicate issue a highly
    unfortunate step". This "politicisation", together with the "damage
    done to freedom of expression" and to "academic research", represent
    "a loss for France", according to a long statement by the Turkish
    ministry, which adds that "no parliament" has "the right to judge
    other nations". (ANSAmed).
