    TURKEY REJECTS CYPRIOT BAN ON DENIAL OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

    Turkey's Foreign Ministry spokesman Tanju Bilgic has said Cypriot law
    on banning denial of Armenian Genocide is "not worth of commenting,"
    Anadolu Agency reports.

    Turkey has rejected the Cypriot law on banning the denial of Armenian
    Genocide.

    Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesman Tanju Bilgic said in a statement
    late Thursday that "the decision is null and void for Turkey and not
    worthy of comment."

    "It is without doubt that those who try to exploit the 1915 incidents
    at every opportunity by using simple political ambitions cannot get
    any result," Bilgic added.

    Earlier Thursday, the Cypriot Parliament unanimously adopted a law,
    making it a crime to deny the Armenian Genocide.

    The bill, which was jointly submitted by all political parties to
    the Greek Cypriot parliament, can impose a five-year imprisonment
    and fine of EURO 10,000 to those who deny the Genocide.
