Turkey renews its rhetoric to hamper the process of international recognition of the Armenian Genocide.

”Turkey will change its concept of diaspora,” Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu said.

“Turkish officials are supposed have face to face talks on joint history with anyone who migrated from Anatolia from whichever religion or sect they were, including Armenians, Greeks and Jews. They are our diasporas,” he said. “Turkey would tell how France and some colonialists had set riot between us in that era.”

“Ankara will raise its voice against the French bill all around the world,” Davutoğlu said, adding that Turkey will decide whether to “sharpen or ease” measures against France according to Paris’ attitude, Hurriyet Daily News reported.

In a related development, parliament speaker Cemil Çiçek said that the adoption of the bill made the France friendship group in parliament redundant and announced that its 350-odd members began resigning.
