    TURKEY WISHES FRANCE NOT TO APPROVE DRAFT LAW, TAN

    Anatolian Times, Turkey
    May 10 2006

    ANKARA - "Turkey wishes the French legislators not to approve a draft
    law which would make 'the denial' of the so-called Armenian genocide a
    crime," Turkish Foreign Ministry Spokesman Namik Tan said on Wednesday.

    Responding to a question at a weekly news conference, Tan said French
    administration was sensitive on this issue, stating that the issue
    required a process in which calm reactions should be given.

    "It should not be the desire of anybody to cause uneasiness in
    a climate in which our rooted relations were being improved,"
    he remarked.

    Asked about Turkey's reaction against the remarks of Canadian Prime
    Minister Stephen Harper describing baseless Armenian allegations
    as "genocide", Tan said, "there has been assessment process in our
    ministry to determine the steps that would be taken on this issue. We
    carry out necessary consultations with other related institutions."
