    Jan. 27--France plays an important role in the Turkish economy,
    the minister of economy Zafer Caglayan told reporters, television
    channel TRT Haber transmits on Friday.

    "French companies employ a large number of Turkish citizens. These
    companies make an important contribution to the economy," Mr Caglayan
    said.

    The minister said that all the investments of French entrepreneurs
    will be under the tutelage of Turkey. French entrepreneurs also oppose
    the law on "Armenian genocide," Mr Caglayan added.

    He said: "As for the Turkish companies, they will choose themselves
    whether or not to work with French companies."

    Turkish authorities have declared that they would take additional
    sanctions against France after the adoption the law criminalising
    the denial of "Armenian genocide" by the Senate of France.

    After eight hours of discussion, the Senate (upper chamber of the
    French parliament) voted for adoption of the law criminalising denial
    of the so called "Armenian genocide". Some 127 senators voted for,
    while 86 against.

    The Lower House of the French Parliament adopted a bill criminalising
    the denial of the so-called "Armenian genocide" on Dec.22, 2011

    The bill demands about a year's imprisonment and a fine of 45,000
    euros for denial of the so-called "Armenian genocide".

    MPs from the French President's Union for Popular Movement (UMP)
    party which has the parliamentary majority, proposed the bill which
    aims at criminalising denial of the so-called "Armenian genocide" to
    the legislative committee of the National Assembly in early December.

    Armenia and the Armenian lobby claim that the predecessor of the
    Turkey -- Ottoman Empire had committed the 1915 genocide against
    the Armenians living in Anadolu, and achieved recognition of the
    "Armenian Genocide" by the parliaments of several countries.
