Ankara lifts all sanctions against France

Turkey has lifted all sanctions adopted previously against France, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, who is visiting Paris, said, TRT Haber reported on Thursday.

Relations between Turkey and France deteriorated after the decision of the French Senate to pass a bill criminalising the denial of the so-called "Armenian genocide"

The French Constitutional Court then gave a judgment repealing this law.

Armenia and the Armenian lobby claim that the predecessor of the Turkey - Ottoman Empire had committed the 1915 genocide against the Armenians living in Anatolia, and achieved recognition of the "Armenian Genocide" by the parliaments of several countries.
