RECOGNITION OF ARMENIAN GENOCIDE NOT CONDEMNATION OF THIS DAY POPULATION OF TURKEY
France's recognition of the Armenian genocide fact is not condemnation of this day population of Turkey at all. French FMA State secretary Reno Muzole stated that in his interview with Baku "Echo" newspaper on the threshold of his visit to the South Caucasus. According to him, they in France know how strong the solidarity between Azeri and Turkish people is, and realize that exactly that is the reason of Baku's negative reaction to the French parliament's decision on the Armenian Genocide.
