TOKAT - ''French government opposes to the voting that will take place in the French parliament pertaining to the draft resolution on so-called Armenian genocide,'' French Ambassador in Ankara Paul Poudade said on Monday.
Speaking after his meeting with Erdogan Gurbuz, governor of Black Sea city of Tokat, Poudade said, ''we hope this resolution would not harm Turkish-French relations. French parliament opposes to the voting. The sensitivity of this issue was earlier disclosed by French President Jacques Chirac and Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.''
French Socialist Party submitted a resolution to the French parliament which makes any denial of the so-called Armenian genocide a crime.
