TURKEY'S CONDUCT CAUSES SENSE OF DEJA VU - ARMENIAN EXPERT

Turkey's conduct is causing a sense of deja vu, expert in Turkic
studies Anush Hovhannisyan told journalists Jan 25.
She recalled Turkey's conduct was the same after France recognized
the Armenian Genocide.
"Adoption of the bill has no precedents in that, despite tremendous
pressure on Turkey's part, the French Senate adopted the bill. We
have repeatedly been witnesses of Turkey preventing recognition of
the Armenian Genocide by different countries," she added.
Adoption of the bill has its impact on Turkey's domestic policy.
"Various political parties in Turkey, as well as people of reason, have
been severely critical of the country's leadership. The recognition
of the Armenian Genocide is not an insult to the Turkish people. It
is a process initiated by the Turkish State," Hovhannisyan said.
A number of Turkish media outlets note that the adoption of the
Armenian Genocide bill is supposed to set Turkey thinking of the
impossibility of further delay in addressing the Armenian Genocide.
"Turkey's political leadership must realize that there is no achieving
goals by means of blackmail," Hovhannisyan said.
