“The French Senate will pass the bill on Armenian Genocide the moment they decisively intend to give a slap in the Ankara’s face. Till then it will be used as a tool to pressurize Turkey”, - Artak Shakaryan, expert in Turkish studies, expressed his view at the press-conference today.
”The last May France showed it’s ability to adopt the bill condemning Armenian Genocide, but it was postponed and passed in autumn, a better moment for putting pressure on Ankara”, – A. Shakaryan says. In his opinion the French will continue putting the bill on agenda and removing it without voting to pursue their aims.
