France Armenian Genocide is strongly condemned byTurkey. Retaliation
will come after French Senate approved the France Armenian Genocide
bill making it a crime denying mass killings of Armenians by Ottoman
Turks was genocide.
Ankara / NationalTurk - Relations between France and Turkey, the two
NATO allies are at its lowest and Ankara's ambassador in Paris states
he's ready to return to Turkey, after France shamelessly uses poor
Armenian conscience as a cat's paw for the upcoming France elections
by approving the Armenian Genocide Bill in the Frencg senate.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has accused French
President Nicolas Sarkozyan, who is seeking re-election in 2012,
of using the law to please to France's nearly 400,000 voters of
Armenian origin.
France Armenian genocide attrocity : Politics have won over law France
Senate's upper house approved the genocide bill late on Monday evening,
criminalizing the denial of Armenians killed by Ottoman Turks during
World War I was genocide. The approval of the Genocide bill will be
finalized as a law after French President Sarkozyan signs it.
The dire event is condemned by Turkey whereas it found praise in
Armenia. Armenian people who live in Armenia are not represented by
themselves. The lobbyist Armenian diaspora all over the world decides
for them.
The French Senate passed the bill - which allows for a potential
one-year prison penalty sentence and a fine of up to 45,000 euros for
those who deny that Armenian genocide committed by Turks occurred
in 1915 - by a vote of 127 to 86. Of the 217 members of the senate
213 used legit votes. 107 was the number required so the law could be
passed. The Armenian genocide bill, passed last month by France's lower
house, the National Assembly, must now be signed by French President
Nicolas Sarkozyan before it can become law, which contradicts with
the 34th ammendment of French constitution. The 34th bylaw of French
Constitution is about freedom of speech and expression.
Sarkozyan licks the boots of Armenian voters
Nicholas Sarkozyan's Foreign Minister Alain Juppe has also admitted
the Turkey involving France Genocide bill is "untimely" while even
French Senate's committee chairman, Jean-Pierre Sueur, criticized
the Armenian genocide bill as unconstitutional, stating that it
could be rejected by France's constitutional court. Sueur claims it
specifically runs counter to constitutional provisions guaranteeing
freedom of speech and academic research. He shoved his protests by
slamming the French MP's supporting the genocide bill by asking " Who
and what powers do you exactly you serve? ", hinting at the tastleless
motives behind the dire attempt to alter history for political gains.
Armenia praised and hailed the French Senate's Genocide vote as a day
"written in gold," while Turkey lamented "a black day in France's
history."
'Permanent' consequences in France Turkey Relations after Armenian
Genocide Bill France's NATO ally Turkey, however, has threatened to
raise the level of severe diplomatic fallouts if the genocide bill
will be signed by Sarkozyan to be finalized as law before French
parliament takes a break at the end of February ahead of the France
presidential election. Ankara administration has already temporarily
suspended all relations with Paris as Turkey's government has frozen
political and military ties with France. French President Sarkozyan
whose party French UMP (the mainstream right-wing party in France)
supported the France Armenian Genocide bill, needs to sign it into law,
but that is largely considered a formality.
French genocide bill puts Nazis and Turks at same level The Armenian
genocide bill means that France will officially recognize two genocides
of the last century- that of the Jews at the hands of the Nazis during
the Second World War and the killings in eastern Turkey between 1915
and 1917 during World War I.
Turkey : Reactions to France Armenian Genocide Law Approval Turkey
has threatened retaliatory measures against France following a
French senate vote approving a genocide bill that would criminalize
a denial that the mass killings of Armenians in 1915 constituted had
been genocide.
In a written statement following Monday's vote, Turkey's foreign
ministry declared: "Turkey strongly condemns this decision which is...
an example of irresponsibility."
"Politicising the understanding of justice and history through other
people's past and damaging freedom of expression in a tactless manner
are first and foremost a loss for France."
Turkey's justice minister Sadullah Ergin added that the France Genocide
bill was "a great injustice" that showed "a total lack of respect"
for Turkey and human rights.
France Armenian Genocide Law will be ignored by Turkey "Turkey
will never accept such a law, and now everybody will pay a price,
including Turkey, France, and the Armenian communities," he warned,
as Turkish Prime Minister annonced today at Turkish parliament that
Turkey will ignore the law inacted by France.
"You can expect diplomatic relations will be at the level of charge
d'affaires, not ambassador anymore." "Turkey is committed to taking
all necessary measures against this unjust disposition, which reduces
basic human rights to nothing," Turkey's Foreign Ministry announced
in a statement issued later yesterday evening.
The Turkish embassy in Paris declared France was "in the process of
losing a strategic partner." "If the law is adopted by the French
government, the consequences will be permanent," an Turkish embassy
spokesman stated.
French politicians suggest Turkey and Turkish government should remain
calm and avoid taking steps which could damage France's relation with
Turkey, an ally to France they claim hypocritically.
While Turkish government seems to have failed at carrying out a
decent policy at handling the crisis, and becoming nothing more than
a barking dog rather than biting, Turkish historians who are first
historians and not nationalists claim, calling the events in 1915 a
genocide is unjust.
But Turkey has to face its demons and Turkish people, more importantly
younger Turks deserve to know the truth. " To say and claim that
"There is no Armenian genocide committed by Turks" should be backed up
with proper history and policy. Turks and Armenians need and deserve
to know why 300.000 Armenian people who were living in those lands
before 1915 had to migrate. Migration never occurs without something
forces you to migrate.
