Turkey renews its rhetoric that it applied within its action plan against Armenian initiatives on the incidents of 1915. Ankara constitutes its action plan on raising awareness in the international arena on overall incidents of the World War I-era in a way that includes what all Ottoman people suffered.<\/p>\n
Turkey would change its \u201cconcept of diaspora,\u201d Foreign Minister Ahmet Davuto\u011flu said. Turkish officials would have face to face talks on joint history with anyone who migrated from Anatolia from whichever religion or sect they were, including Armenians, Greeks and Jews, he said. \u201cThey are our diasporas.\u201d Turkey would tell how France and some colonialists had set \u201criot between us\u201d in that era, he said.<\/p>\n
Turkey\u2019s short-term action plan against Armenian resolutions and long-term plans for the upcoming 100th year of the alleged Armenian \u201cgenocide\u201d will be an issue during the meetings of Turkish ambassadors, who gathered in Ankara to review Turkey\u2019s foreign policy, a diplomatic source told H\u00fcrriyet Daily News Dec. 23. Ankara was also concerned with Armenian initiatives in<\/p>\n
the U.S. because of the upcoming presidential elections in that country. Ankara would raise its voice against the bill \u201call around the world,\u201d Davuto\u011flu said, adding that Turkey would decide whether to \u201csharpen or ease\u201d measures against France according to Paris\u2019 attitude.<\/p>\n
Parliament scraps friendship group<\/p>\n
In a related development, Parliament Speaker Cemil \u00c7i\u00e7ek said yesterday that the adoption of the denial bill had made the France friendship group in Parliament redundant and announced that its 350-odd members had begun resigning. \u00c7i\u00e7ek said the stance of French Parliament was \u201cbiased, hostile and poisonous\u201d for bilateral relations. \u201cMaintaining friendly relations with such a country has become meaningless and unnecessary. There will be no France friendship group until they make up for their decision,\u201d \u00c7i\u00e7ek said, stressing that the stance of the Senate, the next legislative stage for the bill, would be crucial. The overwhelming majority of the group\u2019s members belonged to the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP).<\/p>\n
