Lagarde to Erdogan: French laws are adopted in France, not in Turkey

PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkey is not empowered to tell France what to do, a member of the French National Assembly said.

“The adoption of this bill is dictated by the will of the French nation. We do not condemn Turkey but the policy of denial is unacceptable for us,” Jean-Christophe Lagarde said during the December 22 debate.

“I would like to remind Mr. Erdogan that French laws are adopted here, in this hall, but not in Ankara,” he said.

The French parliament is debating the bill, which envisages a year in jail and a fine of 45,000 euros for those who publicly deny the Armenian Genocide in France.
