La France a adopté hier (23 janvier) un projet de loi visant à rendre illégale la négation du génocide arménien perpétré par les Turcs ottomans il y a un siècle. La Turquie a réagi avec virulence et menacé de « rompre totalement » ses relations diplomatiques avec la France.
Lawmakers in the upper house (Senate) voted 127 to 86 in favour of the draft law outlawing genocide denial after almost six hours of debate. The lower house had backed it in December, prompting Ankara to cancel all economic, political and military meetings with Paris and recall its ambassador for consultations.
The bill had been made more general so that it outlawed the denial of any genocide, partly in the hope of appeasing Turkey. But Ankara condemned the bill's approval and said it would take permanent steps against France, a NATO ally.
