PARIS. - Turkish Ambassador in France Tahsin Burcuoglu who was recalled
to Ankara after bill penalizing Armenian Genocide denial was approved
by French parliament, returned to Paris to improve contacts until
the measure is debated in Senate.
Burcuoglu said Turkey's goal is to provide freezing of the proposal
in a short term period adding that it is "senseless, useless and
extremely dangerous," TRT Russia reported.
Recalling that the bill will be debated on January 23, the Ambassador
said they should not allow holding discussions and consideration of
the bill until January 22.
He also commented on French President Nicolas Sarkozy's efforts on
spreading the bill throughout Europe.
"It is equal to opening a new front with Turkey. If it happens,
Turkey will respond adequately," he said.
