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.
