They are our diasporas,” he said. “Turkey would tell how France and some colonialists had set riot between us in that era.” “Ankara will raise its voice against the French bill all around the world,” Davutoğlu said, adding that Turkey will decide whether to “sharpen or ease” measures against France according to Paris’ attitude, Hurriyet Daily News reported.
