Turkish premier: I hope France will not contradict with its own values

ISTANBUL (A.A) - January 23, 2012 - Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan expressed hope that France would not become a country which contradicted with its own values. French Senate will vote on Monday a bill which penalizes denial of the Armenian allegations on 1915 incidents with a prison term of one year and a fine of 45,000 euro.  What French Senate is debating now is a denial of the freedom, France has been defending so far, said Erdogan on Monday. Erdogan said that the bill was against freedom of thought, adding that the bill was an investment for an election which would be held in May.
