    Feb. 28--ISTANBUL -- Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu has
    offered his congratulations to the French Constitutional court
    following its decision to strike down a bill making it a crime to
    deny that Armenians suffered genocide during World War I.

    "By opting to protect the concept of universal human rights the French
    Constitutional Court has decided in accordance with what everyone
    believes to be European morals. We congratulate the court for its
    decision," Turkey's state news agency Anatolian quoted Davutoglu as
    saying Tuesday.

    Separately, Anatolian quoted Turkish deputy Prime Minister Bulent
    Arinc as stating that the French Constitutional Court had given the
    country's politicians "a lesson in lawmaking."
