Since January 23, when the French senate passed a bill criminalizing
denial of the Armenian Genocide, Turkish retaliation toward France
has included lawsuits charging France with wrongdoing during the same
period of history.
As reported by News.am, interesting developments have unfolded
since Ahmet Karadag, a 57-year-old resident of Turkey's Gaziantep
(Ayntap) city, filed a lawsuit against the French President, France,
French-Armenians, and four Armenian foundations in Istanbul.
Ever since a Gaziantep court accepted the lawsuit in which Karadag
claims that the French had killed his grandfather in 1919-1920, and
taken his 25 camels and 3.5-kg gold, the city's media has called upon
citizens to file similar lawsuits. Ready-made petitions are provided,
and the claimants simply have to fill in their name and the date.
In the petition, Armenians are likewise accused of pillaging and
killing the Turks, and in assisting the French, for which the petition
also notes the French Armenians and the four Armenian foundations
in Istanbul.
The petition also states that the French bill was a heavy moral blow
to the Turkish people, and therefore the claimant demands a symbolic
10,000 Euros for material, and 5,000 Euros for moral damages.
