Erdogan: "French bills is completely nully and void for Turkey"

Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan yesterday said that the French bill criminalizing the denial of Armenian allegations pertaining to the incidents of 1915 was entirely null and void for Turkey and echoed the footsteps of fascism in Europe. Speaking at the parliamentary group meeting of his ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP), Erdogan yesterday reiterated that the bill could still get rejected, if 60 lawmakers take it to a superior court and succeed in getting an approval from that court, acknowledging that the bill is in violation of the French constitution. Erdogan described the bill as a discrimination, racism and slaughter of freedom of thought, saying, "We are still at the stage of patience. We are all watching the course of process. Depending on future developments, we will display our stance and reactions and share our action plan with public. We also believe that French people will act much more sensitively towards the escalating discrimination and leave [French President Nicolas] Sarkozy, his friends and supporters up to the discretion of French people."
