    Adoption of Armenian Genocide Bill Will Change Many Things for France
    13.10.2006 17:14 GMT+04:00

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ "A wrong step taken on October 12th will change many
    things for France and not for Turkey," said Turkish Prime Minister
    Recep Tayyip Erdogan when commenting on the French bill criminalizing
    the denial of the Armenian Genocide.

    "Initiative of France to turn a historical lie into a law is a big
    challenge against EU`s fundamental values. The most valuable asset of
    Copenhagen criteria is freedom of thought and expression. So when a
    scientist says "this thing is against scientific and historical
    realities" and this will be considered as a crime; then where is the
    freedom of expression? Moreover, how can France be part of a problem
    between Turkey and Armenia?" Erdogan asked. He said that international
    politics cannot be made by avoiding scientific and historical
    documents and remarked that France should look at what happened in
    Algeria between November 1st, 1954 and March 19th, 1962, reports
    Turkishpress.
