Turkish MFA: French Parliament "Wounded Souls of Turkish People"
Official Ankara is not going to recall Ambassador from Paris. Turkish MFA Spokesman Namik Tan said the presence of diplomatic mission is essential to bring Turkey's position to the notion of France. "We are adherents to cool and reasonable conduct and we will proceed with this line," he said. Tan remarked that although Turkey has calmed down to hear French government oppose the bill criminalizing the Armenian Genocide denial but it doesn't solve the problem. In his words, the decision taken by the upper house of the parliament "wounded souls of Turkish people and the mistake cannot be corrected by statements." He also said that bill is being condemned in Europe and the whole world, reports IA Regnum.
