French historian wants to become Turkey citizen

The historian appealed to Turkey Parliament Foreign Affairs Commission chief, PM Mehmet Dulger with the help of his Turkish acquaintance.

The appeal says: "France President Jacques Chirac's statement "If Turkey wants to enter EU, it should recognize Armenian Genocide" is blackmail. I protest against this policy. In this case, Turkey can demand the recognition of the genocide committed in 1789 in France. Hundreds of French were killed during the revolution; their skins were used as material for cloths, and their grease used in the kitchens of detention places. So, American people should be accused of the death of millions of Indians, and Spanish people should be blamed for destroying the culture local resident in South America," the historian said.

Justice and Development Party member Mehmet Dulger brought his appeal to Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan's notice.

Edogan wanted the letter to be investigated in the Interior Ministry.
