http://times.am/?l=en&p=3563
Valerie Boyer, French deputy of the Unification for the people's
movement party, author of the draft of criminalization of denial the
Armenian Genocide, visited memorial of Armenian Genocide victims in
Marcel and put garlands on January 6.
On the same day French deputy participated in the festival devoted
to the Christmas in Armenian local Church. The deputy informed about
this by her Facebook page and also put photos there.
Many Armenian users "liked" and "shared" this post, also thanked the
French deputy for her pro-Armenian activities.
Remind that on December 22 French National Assembly accepted the bill
of criminalization of Armenian Genocide denial. Now the bill will
be discussed at French Senate and will be presented to the French
President for approval.
Acceptance of the bill caused Turkish anger. Turkish Ambassador to
Paris was called back first. But then Turks decided to send him back
and he has an order now: he must prevent the acceptance of bill in
the French Senate.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced that Turkey
would cut all kind of relations with France. Some analysts named this
announcement too naïve as Turkey demands on French economy mostly.
Then a Turkish company began to manufacture baby diapers, trash bags,
toilet paper and paper handkerchiefs in branded name Sarkozy, President
of French Republic, Times.am informed about this before.
Turks tried to use another strong factor against France: they call on
French side to recognize the own Genocide and apologize for it. But
Algerian Prime Minister Ahmed Ouyahia urged Turkey to stop trying
to make political capital out of France's killing of thousands of
Algerians during the colonial period.
French side just asked Turkey to respect their decisions.
