Turkey has suspended talks with Gaz de France over a key gas pipeline,
in protest at a French bill about the killing of Armenians in World
War I.
The planned pipeline would carry natural gas from the Middle East
and Central Asia to Austria through Turkey.
The French Parliament is considering a law that would make it
an offence to deny that Ottoman Turks committed genocide against
Armenians.
The 4.6bn euro ($6.1bn; £3.1bn) Nabucco pipeline project is supposed
to reduce the European Union's reliance on Russian gas.
It also passes through Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary, which have
already reached agreement with Gaz de France.
