Erdogan continues threatening France over Genocide bill

PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Turkey would retaliate by all diplomatic means if the French senate approved the bill penalizing Armenian Genocide denial.

"I would like to reaffirm that we will resort to all diplomatic means to stand against such unjust, biased, populist and unlawful attempts," Erdogan told reporters in a joint press conference with Mustafa Abdel Jalil, head of Libya's National Transitional Council, Trend reported, citing Anadolu Agency.

A draft law envisaging a one-year prison sentence and 45,000 euro fine for denying the Armenian Genocide is due to go before French parliament next week.
