Adoption of a French bill, which will penalize anyone who denies the
so-called Armenian genocide, will not affect Turkey's European Union
(EU) membership, a senior European Union (EU) official said.
The EU External Relations Commissioner Benita Ferrero Waldner told on
Friday in an interview with Finnish public television YLE that the
issue of the Armenian genocide has come up from time to time in
France since there is a strong (Armenian) community in the country.
Waldner assured that what happened in France and how they treat
candidate countries of EU were completely two different things.
