After the adoption of the bill criminalizing denial of genocides by the French Senate the head of Turkey’s Union of Agricultural Chambers Samsi Bayraktar announced they would boycott all the French products.

Bayraktar pointed out the decision of the Senate has political purposes criticizing the decision on behalf of 5.4 million Turkish farmers, the Turkish Star newspaper informs.

“From now on Turkish agronomists will not use any French goods,” Samsi Bayrakyar said.

To note, with a vote of 127 in favor and 86 against, France’s Senate passed Monday the bill that criminalizes the denial of the genocides which this country has formally recognized. And these are the Armenian Genocide and the Jewish Holocaust.

This bill sets a one-year prison sentence plus a 45-thousand-Euro fine for anyone who denies these genocides. According to the regulations, the French President will ratify it within fifteen days. And Turkey had announced earlier that if the bill were to pass, it will impose a number of sanctions against France.
