    OIC GROUP TO SHUN FRENCH 'GENOCIDE' BILL

    Turkey

    Lawmakers from member countries of the Organization of the Islamic
    Cooperation (OIC) have agreed to denounce a French law criminalizing
    denial of Armenian genocide claims in a final declaration of their
    conference, Anatolia news agency reported.

    "This is going to be the first joint response from an international
    meeting to the French bill which was adopted by the French Senate,"
    said Emrullah Ä°Å~_ler, head of the Turkish delegation at the OIC
    parliamentary assembly. The OIC Parliamentary Union has decided to
    include a paragraph in the final declaration of their 7th conference in
    Palembang, Indonesia, that shuns the French denial bill as "virtually
    non-existent" after a proposal by Turkish delegates to the conference
    and the backing of other members of the OIC Parliamentary Union.

    Armenian Diaspora criticizes Clinton's remarks on the bill

    Meanwhile, the Armenian Diaspora group criticized U.S. Secretary
    of State Hillary Clinton for her remarks on the French bill. "The
    Obama-Biden administration - with Secretary Clinton's latest remarks -
    continues to dig itself deeper and deeper into a hole of complicity
    in Turkey's genocide denial," said Armenian National Committee of
    America (ANCA) Executive Director Aram Hamparian according to the
    Armenian website Asbarez.
