'Ankara to toughen sanctions against France'

If the French Senate adopts a bill criminalizing denial of the so-called "Armenian genocide", Ankara will toughen sanctions against France, TRT Haber TV channel quotes Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, as saying.

"This bill is a prototype of decisions of the Medieval Inquisition," he said.
The French Senate is expected to consider a bill criminalizing denial of the so-called "Armenian genocide" today, on Jan.23.

The Lower House of the French Parliament adopted a bill criminalising the denial of the so-called "Armenian genocide". Some 45 out of 577 French MPs voted with 38 voting for and seven against the adoption of the bill.
