ANKARA - ''We expect the French parliament to reject the draft law envisaging punishment of those who deny so-called Armenian genocide,'' said Namik Tan, spokesman for the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on Wednesday.
Speaking at the weekly press briefing, Tan said, ''we expect France not to allow any initiatives that will harm our historical relations. We welcome that the French government and people share the same views with us.''
The French parliament will debate the draft law tomorrow.
