Turkey will recall its Ambassador from France if the National Assembly approves bill criminalizing Armenian Genocide denial on December 22.

“Unrecoverable consequences will affect all the fields of bilateral relations from recalling our Ambassador for consultations for an uncertain period from December 22. It depends on the vote in the French parliament,” spokesperson for Turkey’s Embassy in Paris Engin Solakoglu told AFP.

French parliament plans to vote on the bill introduced by Valerie Boyer which supposes one year imprisonment or fine amounting to 45,000 euro for denial of Armenian Genocide.
