France stands up to Turkey (really) on Armenian Genocide
France wants Turkey to acknowledge the World War One massacre of Armenians during negotiations on its membership of the European Union, Foreign Minister Michel Barnier said Monday. "It is a request that France will make, to recognise the tragedy from the start of the century .... Turkey must carry out this task as a memorial," he told reporters after talks with his EU counterparts in Brussels. [later in the article there is acknowledgement that it is the Armenian community that is pressing France to do this] Posted by: mhw 2004-12-14 |
