EU Commissioner for External Relations Benita Ferrero-Waldner is sure that the adoption of the bill penalizing the Armenian Genocide in France will not influence on the process of Turkey's admission to the EU. "One thing is if something happens in France but it's quite another matter what the EU can undertake as regards an aspirant state," the EU Commissioner said. In her words, "the Armenian Genocide issue is from time to time raised in France where a strong Armenian community lives," reports RFE/RL.
