French political parties call on Turkey to recognize Armenian Genocide

PanARMENIAN.Net - All French political parties call on Turkey to recognize Armenian Genocide, independent journalist Jean Ekiyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net correspondent.



Right-wing parties are against Turkey's EU process, but they promise privileged partnership in case the country provides solution to national minority's problems and the Armenian Issue.



According Alexander Adler, historian, journalist and expert on Turkish issues, "Turkey cannot be considered exemplary democratic state unless it recognizes the Armenian Genocide."



As shown by polls conducted by Sofres centre, 37% of French people are strongly against Turkey's EU process, and 28% find that the country should speed up its efforts towards EU membership; 25% of respondents did not give any answer. The polls were mainly conducted among young people.
