Play it again Sam, what is this about conspiracy theories?
The bill curently being voted on makes it illegal to deny
any genocide that the French have recognised in law. (The Armenian Massacres were recognised by France as genocide in 2001).
Turkey feel they are being targeted by France because a bill with similar wording was thrown out by the French Senate last May. However that bill was more directly critical of Turkey over the 1915 Aremenian Massacre.
