    The itinerary of French President Francois Hollande does not include
    a visit to Armenia on April 24, Laurent Bili, French ambassador to
    Turkey has said.

    "There is no such planned visit within my knowledge. The story was
    a surprise to me as well," Bili told the Hurriyet Daily News today.

    It was reported on Jan. 27 that Hollande was planning to go to Yerevan
    to attend a commemoration of the alleged genocide during World War I.

    The story also said the move aimed to deliver a strong genocide message
    to Armenians, in lieu of passing a bill penalizing denial of Armenian
    genocide. A recent attempt to criminalize denial was struck down by the
    Constitutional Council in 2012 during Nicholas Sarkozy's presidency.
