Turkey and France Lock Horns over Armenia Resolution
France which fake stabs freedom of speech by criminalizing
any person who denies or disputes the so called "The Armenian
Massacre" one hundred years ago or less.
In the mean time the Turkish Parliament should criminalize
any one who disputes the "Algerian Genocide by the French".
Turkey Freezes Ties With France over Genocide-Denial Bill Turkey froze political and military relations with France in retaliation for
the approval by the French parliament’s lower chamber of a measure that makes it
a crime to deny genocide against Armenians a century ago.
The government recalled its ambassador from Paris for
consultations, canceled a joint meeting of economy and trade ministers in
January, and halted all programs for training and cultural affairs, Prime
Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said yesterday in televised remarks in Ankara
following the vote.
Turkey has been warning France for the past week that its
fast-growing economy means it can hurt companies such as Airbus SAS and
Electricite de France SA if the measure goes through. It was presented by a
member from the party of President Nicolas Sarkozy, who is seeking re-election
in April and trailing his socialist opponent in the polls.
French carmaker Renault SA employs 6,800 people in Turkey and is
pressing on with production because the “French decision is a political
development,” Ibrahim Aybar, chief executive officer of Renault Mais, Renault’s
Turkey sales unit, said today in an interview with CNBC-e television.
French carmakers including Renault control a fifth of Turkey’s
auto market and French banks including BNP Paribas SA have assets in the country
exceeding $20 billion. French direct investment in Turkey between 2002 and 2010
was $4.8 billion, the Turkish Embassy in Paris said.
